Season 1 wrong order, mismatches between the French and English names, not a translation error
posted by Vr6GSTAFFMOD on December 26, 2021 at 10:49 PM
A number of the Season 1 episodes appear to be in the wrong order. Plus, some of the episode names and descriptions in English do not match up with the French titles. I'm not talking about a translation problem, I mean that the English name is for one episode and the French name for a completely different episode. What would be the best way of correcting these errors?

Hi @Vr6G,
I first fixed the mismatching names and descriptions for the first two seasons.
Looking at the change history of the episodes is the best way to understand what went wrong. In this case, most of the episodes were originally created by a French user in 2015. Then, English contributors added some of the English data to the wrong episodes.
For example, this episode was created as "Le Cri venu d'Ailleurs". "The Creeping Slime" was incorrectly added as the English title instead of "Shriek from Beyond".
"The Creeping Slime" is the English title of the next episode, "Le Slime est Vivant".
There was a similar issue with the Italian titles.
After making sure all the translations matched, I fixed the episode order and air dates. Episodes have to be in the original airing order so I followed the orignal airing on Canal J in France.
I'll fix the third season later.
