Hi everyone! I noticed a bug in the movie translations.
If you send a request to: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/{$movie_id}/translations
For example: https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/507089/translations
In the English localization, the title is empty. This happens for all movies.

Hi @MaxKardanets, this is by design and how our translations work on TMDB. You can read more about this here, in our Contribution Bible.
You can assume that in the majority of cases, the
original_titlewill match whatever theoriginal_languagevalue is, and in these cases the title field for that language will be empty.
