Hello all,
I'm on a Maigret sweep this week. :-) This post is part question and part data inconsistency issue (maybe).
I was looking up all the Maigret listings and came across the original French version with Bruno Cremer:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167644/episodes?season=1&ref_=tt_eps_sn_1. I'm seeing some of the episodes entered with the original French title and others entered with the English title but on these the "original title" field has been filled in indicating the original French title.
My question is "What are the guidelines for a show originating in another country with non-English titles as the original title?". Should the titles be entered as per the original production or are they supposed to be put in as English and then ideally add the original title in the provided field? My assumption is that this version of Maigret was broadcast in French as opposed to originated in France but was produced in English. I haven't been able to find much on the original production so I'm assuming the original titles were in French.
The complete list of French titles can be seen here: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89pisodes_de_Maigret_(1991-2005).
If needed I can certainly clean this up if this is something I can do. I didn't see anything about changing names of shows on the "edit page" or maybe this can be done at the back end.
BTW: Different sources show this laid out differently. Some show this as multiple seasons and others as one long season. I'm not sure which is correct but is outside the scope of my question.
Thanks all.
Karen
