Hi all,
thanks for that fancy API.
While developing I stumbled across some inconsistencies between the content on the website and what the API returns. See my screenshot here: https://www.evernote.com/l/AMbBJVlXqZxOOLTvbH4q5bHI4ChPEXwwL6U
According to the website Seven Samurai is called "Seven Samurai" in the US and "Sieben Samurai" in Germany, while the API claims it's "Shichinin no samurai" in both countries.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Cheers, Losty

Hi losty,
Alternative titles don't have anything to do with translations. Alternative titles are discrete objects added to movies to help with things like misspellings and working titles. They are tagged by country, not language. See here.
Translations are queried by using the
language
parameter and all of the responses will return 2 fields,original_title
andtitle
.title
will hold the translated value.رد بواسطة losty

Although that evernote-links appears to be restricted/access denied, I see your point.
However: in both cases it's called "alternate title" - shouldn't it be the same data then?
BTW: is there a way to query all available translations in one request? All I could find is to query "movie/id/translations" and then fetch the details for each language...

Hey losty,
I just changed the link to the image, perhaps that will help.
I'm not sure what you mean by both called "alternative title". Alternative titles are queried on the API with the /alternative_titles method. Translations are called with the
language
parameter. On the edit pages, they are simply referred to as "Translated Title" and the completely different "Alternative Titles" editing page. They are totally separate.You cannot call all of the translations in a single call but you can call the /translations method which will list all of the translations that exist for a movie.
