I live in Sweden but prefer to see movies with there original titles, on imdb.com you can select wich language to desplay titles in, but I can't find this in the app. Am I blind or doesn't this option exsist in the app? I think it should, and it should change automaticly on the site if you change in the app and vice versa. Thank you for a otherwise good app.

It doesn't exist. I hope they implement that option...I don't want the titles in my native language either, I want the original titles. There are a lot of requests for this feature, some from over a year ago. It's a reasonable request and it seems simple enough.

Is there anyone in IMDb who think about their users? When will be this problem solved? Just put the option in settings for title language.

This is an issue that pretty much makes this app useless for people from countries who don't have English as a native language but nevertheless speak it. I'm basically forced to get nonsensical translations of most movie titles when some of those titles aren't even the ones used in my country. "Breaking Bad" becomes "Total Rupture" and "Requiem for a Dream" is now "Life Isn't a Dream"...no comments.
What's wrong with a simple "Language Preference" option? Why is this issue avoided and the app basically broken for non-native English speakers?

I agree completely. Since discovering the option on the desktop IMDb a few years ago it's made looking for foreign films much simpler. I DO notice that even now on the Android app if you search for a foreign title by the original or alternate title it gives you what you're looking for, so the app is recognising the original title, just not displaying it.

And IMDB still didn't do anything.
