Genre translation
posted by Meshal433STAFFMOD on October 26, 2012 at 10:57 AM
Hi everyone,
How to translate genres into Arabic? And how to write actors' names in Arabic?
I'm basically trying to improve the Arabic content in the database (which is very poor unfortunately). So if there is anything else that can be translated please let me know.
Your help is appreciated.

Integral translations of genres in French on the previous page.
I also made some missing translations on LocaleApp in French. Some improvements. And some modifications.
Thank you.

Anything we can do to help get incorrect genre translations fixed? Seems like no one is updating the translations in response to the comments here, and the incorrect zh-TW translations are really an eyesore.

Updated list of German genre translations de-DE
Let me add that the genre "Foreign" doesn't make any sense.Reply by BlackSpirits

Hi, translated the geners to Hebrew, and would love for the mod team to update the correct geners.

Messages are ignored ... I'm waiting 3 months for them to add the translations of genres in Catalan.

4 months in my case. I don’t even know if this post is still followed by mods! Let’s wait and see…

Only Travis Bell, the Administrator, can add
a Genre (Movie and TV Show) translation or
a country's Age Certification.
A Moderator cannot.
Travis Bell's To-Do list is very, very long. Look here:

On Trello you can vote on the topic you think is most important.

I'd like to submit a correction for a genre in Slovenian:
Music = Glasbeni
Thanks for your work guys!

Hello, I second that: Music = Glasbeni (not Glazbeni). Can someone correct that, please. Thank you.

@travisbell +1 for adding the german translations. There are more than 130 millions of german speaking people, so this change will affect a not so small portion of your userbase

I would suggest these modifications.
Foreign is not really translatable, so I would stay with "Ausland"

Hello, here is the translation for the es-MX language, since it seems that many genres have not added the translation.

Hungarian:
Action & Adventure= Akció és kaland
Disaster = Katasztrófa
Sci-Fi & Fantasy = Sci-fi és fantasy
War & Politics = Háború és politika
