posted by superboy97STAFFMOD on November 17, 2020 at 7:22 AM
Item: Totally Spies!
Language: fr-FR
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: The French and English listing aren't in the same order (at least for season 1).
I can't do the needed corrections as I'm not sure of which listing is the master here :

I checked the editing history. A French user added mismatching translations in 2018: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/2808-totally-spies/season/1/episode/3/changes

For the moment, I haved realigned all the translations with the English titles.
But, I have a problem with the origin of this show and the dates that we should use.
IMDB indicates:
Country: France | South Korea | USA | Canada
Language: English | French | Korean
English Wikipedia says "Totally Spies! is a French-Canadian-American animated television series created by Vincent Chalvon-Demersay and David Michel mainly produced by French company Marathon Media and co-produced with Canadian company Image Entertainment Corporation for seasons 3 to 5." French Wikipedia says "Totally Spies! est une série télévisée d'animation franco-canadienne en 156 épisodes de 22 minutes créée par Vincent Chalvon-Demersay et David Michel et produite principalement en France par Marathon Média mais également au Canada par Image Entertainment de la troisième à la cinquième saison."
The Inathèque only list Marathon Productions and TF1 as production companies.
Shouldn't we use the TF1 airdates even if the show was first broadcast in the United States ?

Im not sure, but I think Marr researched that one a few years ago. Based on the data, it's an English language series that premiered in the US. I think TF1 was added as a network because of the late sixth season: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Totally_Spies!_episodes#Season_6_(2013%E2%80%932014)
