Emmeli: Therefor Ken did write this:

I would say that if the localized voice cast is listed in the end credits (whether in a distinct section or not) when the film is played, then they should be included.  Otherwise, not.

Important is the (whether in a distinct section or not). The German Voicecast is added after the normal end of the film as a distinct section, Ken was clear here, I don't know what you bother around this for nothing.

this ...

if (movie == running) {
  if (has_german_voice_cast) {
    write_credit_for_german_voice_cast
  } else {
    additional_credit_not_allowed
  }
}

therefore: after movie != movie played.

I don't get it... why not include them on the online?  If you don't want them in your local it's VERY easy to remove them, takes literally seconds to do. I'm sure the people against have spent much more time posting in this thread than it takes to remove them.

But for those that find the voice cast useful, why make all of them have to enter it themselves?  Seems really silly and juvenile to me...  I mean I hate dubs as well, but usually the dubs of foreign films are awful... unwatchable IMO, I almost always stick to subtitles. But that isn't the point.  I believe the question is, what makes the online the best database possible?

Sure, but doing so renders the cast section un-contributable. I'm not German, I would not *ever* want to watch a dubbed version of any film, but I *do* own quite a few German DVD's and Blu-ray's. I'm not interested in German (or any other language, for that matter) dubbing voice actors, but if I wanted to be able to contribute other corrections to the cast section of such a profile, I'd have no choice but to accept them into my database. Since I won't do that, I won't be able to contribute any further cast corrections. Doesn't hurt me, but doesn't seem like the best scenario for the database either. That's why it's an unfortunate approach: it's yet another reason for a number of users to just lock their profiles and no longer bother with the online database.

Never mind, though: Ken has spoken, which is always a good thing: I'm happy with every bit of input we get, even when it doesn't particularly suits me. Better to have something settled, instead of going around in circles on the same subjects for years on end.

No. - At least I see neither a possibility nor a reason:
- The runtime is calculated once for the master - which only differs between localities if there is a PAL conversion, cuts to get a special age rating or something like that.
- Most of the time the additional language dependent credits are galery-like text sheets, whose runtime is kind of artificial...

The credits are valid if they are shown after the international end credits (I'd say: before the disc menus get shown again: most of the times the sequence is: distributor logos -> international master of the film -> language dependent credit -> localization dependent copyright warnings -> menu; distribution logos and copyright warnings aren't added to the runtime neither, if they are not copied into the master)

Not anymore.

But only after I started to point out, that all those technical distribution people from France, Italy, Spain ... are not in the film credits at all.

All those Italian, Spanish, German, French... dubbers in the multilingual European releases are not listed in the end credits. I'll be against uncredited trash entries as Cast until my heart stops beating.

This is no interpretation. The dozens of French, Spanish, German, and Italian dubbers are not listed when the film is played.

Quote:

Then they aren't valid, the dozens of dubbers (about 20 per menu language) are not in the credits.

In other words: [annoying distributor things] -> film  -> [annoying distributor things].

Anything outside film is not valid for Cast or Crew.

There is no such section in the films as "international end credits". There are just the film credits. They are within the film.

And then, there are the annoying distributor things before a film and after a film, depending on the menu selection.

This is correct.

This is correct. For German language menu selection.
This is incorrect. For Italian language menu selection.
This is incorrect. For Czech language menu selection.
This is incorrect. For Spain language menu selection.
This is incorrect. For Polish language menu selection.
This is incorrect. For French language menu selection.
This is incorrect. For Dutch language menu selection.
