Internet Movie Database
The Internet Movie Database is written completely in English (although it does have sister websites in Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese (and Brazilian Portuguese) , Romanian and Spanish). Despite this, IMDb lists the titles of foreign-language films in their original language. This requires English-speaking users to search far down the front-page listing for a film, into the "Additional Details" section, just as non-English speakers must do for English titled films. For example, the Japanese anime film Spirited Away is listed as Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi, the original Japanese title, but in the Latin alphabet.[28] English-speaking readers must look down below the cast list to find the English title. English-speaking users browsing IMDb's Top 250 list must click the listing for Wo hu cang long to discover that that film is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
