Pls this should not apply when changing Original Language.......It popups up only on the occasional record. I don't determine the what might be triggering the message. Do you have a validation bug?.
I.E. Movie: 15713-la-premi-re-toile
"It seems as though you are entering text in French while browsing in English.
Did you know that TMDb natively supports translations?
If you believe this to be an error, stop by the forums and let us know."

Hi Joe,
We added translation language validation after the fact so sometimes, if there was copy added to a language incorrectly originally and no one has gone back in yet to clean it up, you can run into this. In this case, you can see how there was a French overview added to the English translation.
One of our moderators Paszt, deleted the overview and was then able to save the movie. You can see this in the change log.
We do occasionally mis-identify the language but in this case all you had to do was remove the incorrect overview.
Cheers.
