Reported Problem for La Guerre du feu
posted by thrymartinSTAFFMOD on juli 28, 2018 at 7:31 AM
Item: La Guerre du feu
Language: fr
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Title : possible : La Guerre du Feu (as book) La guerre du feu (as french grammar) La guerre du Feu (as french typographic rules : most signifiant, as "La fête de la Musique" etc.) But not "La Guerre du feu" => (the first word in uppercase letter is a English practice - Why locked ?
See for sample the french rules for song titles in "musicbrainz" Or reminder of the rules in "Le Figaro - Langue Française" http://www.lefigaro.fr/langue-francaise/expressions-francaises/2017/10/25/37003-20171025ARTFIG00006-majuscule-ou-minuscule-maitrisez-une-fois-pour-toutes-leurs-regles.php

It's a fr-Fr practice, actually. The current title seem to fit the guidelines, and it looks like it's the most commonly used capitalization.

You will have to explain your typography rules to the different editors below

etc etc etc
Je suis français ! (I'm french, are you ?) et je vous pointe un résumé des règles de typographie (le lien du Figaro) pas un texte sur wiki écrit par? : ce qui compte c'est le signifiant (in english, meaning ?) la plupart des éditeurs ont décidé que Guerre et Feu sont signifiant, d'autres qu'il suffisait d'écrire en français, simplement avec la seule première lettre en majuscule (et non le premier mot).

What other sites or publishers decide is not really of interest. Also, posters or DVD covers will never be used to decide how to use French titles on TMDb. And we use English here when writing in the support forum. Closing topic.
