Please use "English title (original title)" format

In search results, it shows the title in above format correctly:
https://www.themoviedb.org/search?query=hidimba
"Hidimbha (హిడింబ)"
But in search API calls, it returns: హిడింబ
On details page and details API calls, it shows the title only in foreign language which is hard to search on as most people cannot type in foreign languages:
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1154286
"హిడింబ"
Please use this format in search and details API responses "consistently" as it doesn't hurt to use English title prefix in titles (if the original title is not the same as English title):
"English title (original title)" => "Hidimbha (హిడింబ)"
If we look at non-English news agencies, they always stuff a few English key words in the foreign language news title to make them easily indexable and searchable.

If you want to receive results from the API in English, you need to use the parameter "language=en-US".
We never add prefix or suffix to the titles.

It will be up to you to combine them, but using the "language=en-US" parameter, you will have the original one in the "original_title" field and the English one in the "title" field.
This is exactly what is done by the website search.
