Can't find movie by its original (french) title

[Brollof]

API can't find movie by its original title: http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=Minuscule+-+Les+mandibules+du+bout+du+monde

which clearly exists: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7296782/

However, the movie can be found by its English title (not original): http://www.omdbapi.com/?t=Minuscule+-+Mandibles+from+Far+Away

I noticed this as well. On IMDb its generally possible to find movies by the title of any language. On OMDb its sadly only the English titles

Hey there, while looking for Embrace of the Serpent (El abrazo del serpiente) I noticed it cannot be found with its original title, neither it's found with any of its translated titles other than the english one (L'étreinte du serpent in french, for example). The original title is not shown in the result of an ID-based query, only the english one.

Will OMDb entries get an "original title" field and will it be used for title search ? Will OMDb entries include translated titles and will them be used for title search ? Will an optional locale parameter be added to title search ?

If such features already exist, would you please excuse me and indicate me where I can read documentation on them, otherwise I'm keen on implementing them myself if the project source code gets opened : )

Hello there, not sure this thread is still open, but I would like to know if any time soon omdb will be able to manage original title, or even better, country specific titles ? I'm not sure how omdb 'lookup' on imdb to retrieve the information, but for each movie, there is a 'Also knwon as' section with available titles classified by country. Would it be possible to pass a country code to omdb when posting the request (with a &c=CC, CC being a 2 or 3 digit countrycode), so it could translate the t or s command to reply with the according title / lookup ?
