The title display country & language settings don't work

Hello,

I have my title display country set to "United States" and my title display language set to English, but I see most of the titles displayed in Romanian. I do live in Romania, but the settings in my IMDb account should override my computer's location. Please fix this, I need to make efforts to recognize the movies by their posters and it's really annoying.

Thanks a lot!

Sorry for the inconvenience. This is a known issue and it is tricky to provide the best experience due to the way we store some of the information about original titles and local titles.

Until we have a full solution, our recommendation is to go to your site settings at https://www.imdb.com/preferences/general and on the menu "Title display country" please choose "Original" which is the first item on the menu. This will block the localization of titles which should improve things, even though there will still be some issues.

Thank you! Changing the settings to "original" solved the issues for some of the titles, at least.

Actually, setting the display country to "original" is not of much use, because all the non-English films are shown in their respective foreign languages, and even a lot of the English ones are shown with their original festival titles, which are different from the commercial wide-known titles.

One up here, I want titles from US and English language, not the local stuff. How hard could it be?
