Are there meant to be job titles in varying languages? Comic-Zeichner, Maske, Maskenbildner, Produzent, Redaktion, Regieassistenz, Telecine Colorist, Texte

Those are a few examples of ones I have found. I am guessing they shouldn't be there.

Hope that helps!

Looks like those are still on the site (selectable too). What happend to this? They're all in German.

  • Comic-Zeichner = Comic Book (can be used for the illustrator or writer)
  • Dramaturgie can be various existing roles
  • Herstellungsleitung = Line Producers
  • Klimatechnik would be something with the set production related to the climate but I wouldn't know what or where that is used
  • Maske & Maskenbildner = Makeup Artist
  • Mischung = One of the sound mix roles
  • Musikmischung = One of the sound mix roles (this would be specific to music)
  • Produzent = Producer
  • Redaktion = Would be the editorial in a newspaper - I take it this might get used on documentaries?
  • Regieassistenz = Assistant Director
  • Szenografie = Scenography - that one is missing in English
  • Texte = Writer (literal translation = texts)
  • Tiertrainer = Animal Trainer (guess that one is missing too)
  • Titelgestaltung = Title graphics
  • Tonbearbeitung = Sound editor
  • Tongestaltung = Sound design

It is set to Milestone "Icebox" along with 150+ other bugs, so I suspect that: "don't hold your breath" might be the way to go in regards to when this one may get fixed.

There will be a reason why it is more effort than it is worth to fix it at this point. I am guessing the films which it effects are few enough in number and low enough in popularity that it is a very low priority issue.

Has someone started to fix the entries listed by Adi above? You would have to manually delete and then re-add the person to the English version of the job. I can take care of it if nobody else wants to.

Thanks for the help sp1ti. I'll add some comments:

Musikmischung = One of the sound mix roles (this would be specific to music)

Music Editor is the correct one here.

Szenografie = Scenography - that one is missing in English

The term used here, if it's the main one for a movie, is Production Design.

I could also recommend checking in on our ongoing effort to add new jobs to the database: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/53a4285dc3a3682a3f000fb0

(EDIT: I'll start fixing these by using the job listed on IMDb.)

Time will only make it worse. I mean this is a 2 year old thread. Someone with the language set to German will gladly select those without even noticing.

@lineker: I actually saw the German ones mentioned by Marr for in the thread for which the search led me here.

Scenography is fine as Production Design but it seems to be a term more commonly used in theatre for which some releases also exist.

As for changing the records: I figure it would be a lot easier for Travis to just update the affected tables than to manually search for these (in the API) and fixing them. Some also would still be missing. I'm not really up for fixing them though, just figured I'd bump this :>.

I can create an up to date list of film IDs and crew IDs if you want. May not be any difference, but who knows.

I created the original lists with it being done programatically in mind.

Just map the German titles with the equivalent English ones already in the DB. If any are slightly out, I am sure someone would correct it down the line.

The site is already at 350 different job titles (Including the German ones.)

I can create an up to date list of film IDs and crew IDs if you want. May not be any difference, but who knows.

Sure. Can you list any new titles not listed in the previous post that would be nice. May not be any difference like you say, but worth a check.

Person ID for those involved: 67, 108, 673, 804, 1014, 1073, 1224, 1390, 1532, 1557, 3104, 3658, 3768, 4219, 4507, 4647, 4805, 5126, 5127, 5144, 5398, 5591, 5864, 5917, 6094, 6095, 6276, 6675, 8803, 9038, 9591, 9834, 10896, 11436, 11630, 11711, 11940, 11947, 12736, 13222, 13800, 13899, 14273, 14744, 14777, 15119, 16532, 16805, 16806, 17083, 17114, 17708, 17709, 17713, 18642, 18655, 18656, 18717, 18718, 18719, 18855, 18970, 19250, 19992, 20567, 20878, 20999, 21096, 21099, 21122, 21141, 21737, 22585, 22586, 22619, 22684, 22780, 22781, 22801, 22802, 22841, 22843, 22914, 22915, 22916, 22940, 22941, 22957, 22958, 22994, 22995, 23102, 23176, 23272, 23297, 23298, 23446, 24694, 25320, 26175, 26473, 27010, 27146, 27317, 28198, 28305, 28528, 28530, 28563, 28623, 28697, 28915, 29015, 29148, 29821, 29965, 30081, 30800, 30860, 30905, 30913, 30939, 30974, 31556, 31611, 31668, 31672, 32002, 32362, 32408, 32419, 32497, 32835, 32836, 32856, 35183, 35184, 35544, 35564, 36241, 36332, 36396, 36401, 36402, 37666, 37803, 37961, 38033, 38060, 38257, 38279, 38536, 39227, 39228, 39230, 39233, 39234, 39488, 39807, 39869, 39920, 40370, 40373, 40496, 40903, 41076, 41111, 41177, 41178, 41182, 41584, 41791, 42453, 42493, 42494, 42992, 43219, 43698, 43703, 44314, 44433, 44666, 45900, 45932, 45933, 46287, 46292, 46479, 46482, 47125, 47340, 48147, 48160, 48168, 48415, 49373, 49377, 49450, 49477, 50107, 50117, 50118, 50424, 50427, 50428, 50453, 50978, 50979, 51416, 51542, 51811, 52000, 52224, 52226, 52519, 52524, 52525, 52526, 52533, 52550, 52551, 52558, 52560, 52672, 52673, 52748, 53157, 53544, 53738, 53739, 53740, 54358, 54361, 54362, 54363, 54544, 54820, 54956, 54962, 54988, 54989, 55168, 55284, 55290, 55294, 55768, 55807, 55881, 56275, 56470, 56992, 57018, 57043, 57044, 57102, 57111, 57201, 57204, 57229, 57246, 57658, 57915, 57935, 57936, 57937, 57947, 57982, 58263, 61122, 61123, 62416, 62511, 63905, 64953, 65237, 66270, 66642, 66699, 66708, 66737, 66748, 66807, 66821, 66927, 67326, 67331, 67419, 67745, 67767, 68195, 68349, 68350, 68351, 68508, 68999, 69051, 69208, 69258, 69766, 70541, 70647, 70930, 71292, 71295, 71327, 71412, 71736, 71747, 72212, 72937, 73014, 73397, 73469, 73736, 73737, 73738, 73739, 73860, 73863, 73923, 77963, 78615, 79227, 82299, 82300, 83950, 87878, 89193, 90225, 91012, 95126, 95127, 104237, 104238, 104663, 105913, 105939, 111402, 120757, 123248, 125404, 135949, 138543, 142216, 142507, 145991, 148007, 220720, 221413, 221478, 223436, 223438, 231827, 234049, 236417, 239804, 543947, 560223, 560225, 564575, 564576, 568430, 568743, 584035, 587795, 589008, 590583, 592195, 930487, 932247, 934723, 936457, 942889, 985324, 990525, 990528, 990539, 1008333, 1029259, 1031808, 1032652, 1046785, 1052518, 1076123, 1076459, 1076460, 1077585, 1082657, 1088720, 1088721, 1088722, 1092203, 1096180, 1122571, 1126230, 1131513, 1138279, 1146034, 1148720, 1152157, 1156159, 1156192, 1165013, 1166405, 1180528, 1186020, 1186210, 1189085, 1190378, 1191236, 1191356, 1195495, 1201694, 1202578, 1202579, 1202586, 1202729, 1216679, 1222595, 1223499, 1251328, 1263145, 1274269, 1274275, 1274276, 1278004, 1278247, 1295211, 1302592, 1303996, 1304688, 1305645, 1307544, 1307821, 1309407, 1312807, 1318216, 1333886, 1343290, 1343761, 1344037, 1344415, 1346146, 1352741, 1356116, 1356117, 1356120, 1356641, 1357853, 1358032, 1360177, 1361215, 1365812, 1367866, 1372766, 1372767, 1374056, 1378332, 1391406, 1394224, 1396954, 1396955, 1396956, 1397129, 1403477, 1406584, 1412776, 1439430, 1441954, 1449289, 1449290, 1449967, 1451099, 1452558, 1464928, 1467676, 1475971, 1478902, 1479956, 1486813, 1502505, 1502506, 1506280, 1506281, 1508742, 1517943, 1518940, 1521462, 1521853, 1521855, 1521858, 1522900, 1522901, 1522902, 1525372, 1525373, 1525374, 1528453, 1528464, 1529336, 1529337, 1530695, 1530844, 1532078, 1533538, 1533540, 1534992, 1534993, 1535007, 1535008, 1536871, 1538142, 1538144, 1538145, 1538877, 1546211, 1548696, 1549925, 1550595, 1552732, 1555726, 1557662

Thanks. Taking a break for today, but will get back on it tomorrow. I'll also contact the users that are still using these jobs.

I made it to 3037 tonight. It always takes longer than expected since one error usually means there will be a few more to fix.

Btw, the most commonly used job for Dramaturgie in the database so far is Creative Director. Not an exact translation, but maybe good enough?

The above may be in complete. Will do a diff in a more.

Are these all Job Titles which are in languages other than English?

  • Dramaturgie
  • Herstellungsleitung

I am guessing that Telecine Colorist is English? Maske and Texte in a language other than English?

Correct. TC colorist is in English. Maske is German for theatrical makeup and Texte is German for texts.
