I'm from Brazil, but I've selected to see the United States titles for the movies. Still, some of the titles are appearing in portuguese (mostly in the case of movies not produced in the US). This bug has happened before, but I thought it would never happen again. Please, fix it. It is so annoying to generate a list and see some titles in portuguese (usually horrible titles, by the way). Thanks.

Unfortunately this is a longstanding issue with no easy solution at the present time. 

The best thing to do is opt-out of localised titles entirely by visiting https://www.imdb.com/preferences/general and setting "Title display country" to "Original" (which you will find as the first entry in that menu).

Still, I prefer all the titles in english. Titles in japanese, for example, make no sense for me. Maybe you should rethink all this "internationalization" of the site and keep it in english. People know english. And you would avoid this kind of problem. It makes no sense for me not to be able to see all the titles in english only because I'm from Brazil. It is a basic thing that you should think about. And all this "let's keep the bug going" doesn't fit with an important site like this. By now, you still didn't solve the simple problem of the "IMDb rating" order on the advanced title search: all the titles with the same rating number are appearing in popularity order. Only in the personal lists the "IMDb rating" order is completely accurate. C'mon, Col. Keep on track of these things. I can't believe that they are so difficult to solve. Thanks.
