Hi! Is there any way to know if the original title of the film is translated into a specific language?
example:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/41602?api_key=###&language=es
original_title: "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman"
but the Spanish translation is incorrect:
title: "The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman"

Hi al020594,
Not officially on our end but a general rule would be that if they match, it's probably not translated. So a simple but effective way would just to do a string comparison. If they're different, you can assume it's translated.

But it can happen as the movie is called like: = Titanic Titanic. Also that the original language is searched. In both cases be discarded

Yes, the
title
field will contain whatever the specified language title is, even if it's the same title we have fororiginal_title
. Generally speaking, most films are English (we have thousands of non English, I am just saying in general like Titanic) so you won't see much difference with either field. When you get into requesting other languages or more foreign stuff, these fields will start to diverge.
