Introducing new Language Interest pages

We're excited to announce the launch of 29 new Interest pages dedicated to specific languages on IMDb!  These pages make it easier than ever to discover films in your preferred languages.

What's New:

* Each language has its own dedicated Interest page, showcasing titles where that specific language is set as the primary language
* You can find these new pages in our Interest hub at: https://www.imdb.com/interest/all/
* Language interests now appear as the first "pill" on the title page, followed by subgenres and genres (For example, check out "In the Mood for Love" where  you'll see 'Cantonese' listed first, followed by Dark Romance, Tragic Romance, and then the genres Drama and Romance)

Help Us Improve:

* We're continuously expanding our Interest categories and welcome your feedback on the descriptions
* If you notice a title that appears under the wrong language category, you can help by contributing a correction to the title's primary language information.  For guidance on how to submit a Language correction please refer to our Help Guide: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/languages/GSCRBZYEH5NX5SXL#

This is just the beginning of our efforts to make language-based discovery even better on IMDb. We look forward to your feedback and suggestions!

Oh my Norse God! Norwegian is an interest, but Danish is not. 🧐 Perhaps this was based on the total number of titles returned for each language because I see that Norwegian has a lot more. But this is mainly because it has been added to more TV episodes, perhaps a difference in habits or methods among contributors (your top contributor with the automated submissions is Norwegian, for example). The interest pages seem to be focused on movies and TV shows, and as I expected there are more movie and series pages with Danish as primary language than Norwegian.

This new "feature" is messing up my IMDB. Now project titles and credit titles are being automatically translated to a language I do not speak or read. How do I get back my all-English pages?

@JKinEstonia Thanks for the feedback, however, this feature is unrelated to the language of titles and credits which you see while accessing IMDb. Localization is controlled via the setting on https://www.imdb.com/preferences/general/ and/or the language menu in the upper right of any IMDb page. For more help on this, please see the “Site Preferences” section of https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/general-information/site-preferences/GDL9NWJRKWRH5L6K Hope this helps.

At first I was baffled why on Earth subgenres based on nations were even introduced, but then it occurred to me that it would've been a great way to correct persistent issues with national cinema from occupation periods such as the Soviet one. In theory, though, because so far it's used to reinforce the Soviet narrative of erasing the indigenous in culture. Just a few examples: Ten u pirsa (1955) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048704/) is billed as "Russian" despite being a Soviet Ukrainian movie by a Ukrainian director and a Ukrainian studio and filmed in a Ukrainian city of Odesa, to boot. While it's not in Ukrainian, during soviet era most Ukrainian movies had to be either filmed in Russian or be dubbed in Russian, but were also mandated to have a version in Ukrainian, so it's both by default. Surviving copies seems to have one phrase in Ukrainian and plethora of Ukrainian accent. Igla (1988) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097561/) is also billed as "Russian" despite being a Soviet Kazakh movie, arguably one of the most known Kazakh movies ever. It was filmed in Kazakhstan (bar one shot filmed in Moscow) by a Kazakh director on a studio literally named Kazakhfilm and has a sizeable chunk of dialogue in Kazakh. Yego zovut Sukhe-Bator (1942) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035578/) is a Soviet-Mongolian co-production billed as "Russian", despite Mongolia was never even a part of Soviet Union to begin with. It's about Mongolian history (while heavily also influenced by Soviet propaganda of the era), is partially in Mongolian language (and likely released in Mongolian in Mongolia). Then there's 'Hukkunud Alpinisti' hotell (1979) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0204526/), a cult Soviet Estonian movie which managed to avoid "Russian" and I'm not even sure how at this point. It's not the country of production, because as in Sukhe-Bator it lists both Soviet Union and Estonia (although, while we being clear Estonia WAS a part of Soviet Union). What I'm meaning to imply is that converting every "Russian" to "Soviet" in cases of movies from 1921 to 1990 would greatly improve the situation and reflect the history and classification way better. "Russian" could then be applied to movies actually applicable culturally and significant for that are of influence.
