Can't find options for Mandarin and Cantonese in "Title display language"

Mandarin and Cantonese are two dialects of Chinese characters, we can find them in AKA page (like this).

We can set "Title display language" on "Content Settings", but I can't find options for Mandarin and Cantonese. This issue caused the entry titles to not display properly in Mandarin and Cantonese.

Hope to add these two languages to "Title display language" list, or provide other solutions.

@gameswordsman​  A quick update on this ... the change requires further updates behind-the-scenes to the our software due to different character encodings being supported in different IMDb systems. 

We will be able to take a look at this once more of our systems have been moved to our new technology platform.  This means it will be a while, however, it is now and known issue and we will get to it as part of the technology migration. 

Thanks again for reporting this.

Can you update the ' Title display language‘  from Content Settings , I try to update to China Mandarin but there no option for it, I can not browser titles with Mandarin now , can you try add "China Mandarin " as an option ?

Can you add China Mandarin in title display language , there is option for Mandarin, so titles display with English or original title still, not the Mandarin, even if Mandrin availble in this title.

I hope you can fix this issue ASAP

@Col_Needham but this two title are display with Chinese title sucessfully , can you try to conbine Mandarin and Contonese to "China" together in Country/Language of alternate titles just like before? Mandarin is only one official language in China , the Condonese is official language in Hong Kong, there is no cinema or theatre use Condonese title in China Mainland even if in Guangdong Province. There you can see:

@zzbbh​ No sorry, as explained above, further behind-the-scenes changes are required as part of our continuing software modernization work before the menus can be updated. The team are aware of the issue here and a ticket is still open based on the original problem report.
