This is really necessary and will end the conflict with the international and romanized Asian titles! While I would welcome Unicode support, it would not solve the international vs. local title problem. OK romanization would be out of the picture. |

| | Posted: | | | | Full unicode support would be great, but without corresponding English translations and support, it would make the program unusable to those who can't read non-roman characters. I am not sure that this would be desirable. I collect movies from all over the world. Would I want DVD profiles written entirely in language that I cannot understand or read at all? Would you want profiles of Korean DVDs all in Korean (title, cast, description and all)? I don't think so, and when you think about it, that's not the solution. If there is unicode support, I think it has to be coupled to corresponding English translation/romanization (because English is the defacto international language) to be useful to most. | | | | My Home Theater |

Several ways to solve this: For instance, have one "Original title" field for the English transcribed title and then another one for the original title in the native language. |

If I understand correctly what Assassin wanted, there should be 3 Title Text Boxes: - Movie Title (e.g. german title for movie) - Original Title (e.g. the English title for chinese movies) - Original Title (e.g. Original Chinese title with chinese characters) |
