Unaccepted untranslated title.

I was trying to enter a 1973 movie from India called NAMAK HARAAM (IMDb tt0070434) into your data base. It doesn't allow this title because it says "There was a problem!
It seems as though you are entering text in Malay while browsing in English.
Did you know that TMDb natively supports translations?
If you believe this to be an error, stop by the forums and let us know."
However, this was the actual title of the film and there is no other title in English (anyway it isn't a Malay film). What can I do?

Hi kenru,
We don't actually check the title but rather the overview. What is the text you were trying to add for the overview?

I believe all I put in the overview box was "1973, India"; but I certainly doubt it was in Malay, a language I don't have any knowledge of. In any case, the database allowed the entry when I tried again with the title "NAMAK HARAAM (THE TRAITOR)" and the "1973, India" overview. Maybe there was a program glitch the first day I tried to enter this film. Thanks for the response.
