Is there an option to correct the names of some languages in Hebrew? thanks

It is better not to mix the subjects.
This topic is intended for TV ratings.
Create a new topic with your new question.
And you can give 3 or 4 examples.
With Movie Link, and the title you consider correct.

Costa Rica use the same certification than United States of America. (not in that list) Let me know if you need that I do the update in the wikipedia page

Hi, This is the Italian Rating for TELEVISION CONTENT. It is used by TV channels when they have to broadcast both films and TV series. Obviously the classification of the films is based on a censorship visa for the films which is indicated for each film by the authorities in according to the law. Below I have indicated the classification for movie.

In Italy the classification system changes according to the television station that broadcasts the program. But in general two systems are used in Italy. The most used is inspired by traffic lights. It is used for classifications by Rai, Mediaset and in general by all national television broadcasters excluding Sky Italia. It is used for both movies and TV series.

  • 🟒 –> Green label: all ages admitted. Indicates that the vision of a program is generally suitable for everyone since the content inside it is of zero or mild impact (but may not be suitable for very young children).
  • 🟑 –> Yellow label: parental guidance suggested. Warns that for viewing the program we recommend viewing accompanied by an adult because of content with a moderate impact. Generally this warning is valid for children or young people up to the age of 13. The content of programmes with such classification should always be totally suitable for children from the age of 14.
  • πŸ”΄ –> Red label: Only for adults. Warns that viewing a program is generally recommended for an adult audience because of its strong content. A warning will also be shown before airing.

The classifications used by Sky Italia for all its channels (paid or free) are the following:

  • T or PT –> All ages admitted. (T = Tutti = Everyone or PT = Per Tutti = For Everyone)
  • BA –> Parental guidance suggested. (BA = Bambini Accompagnati = Accompanied children)
  • VM12 –> Forbidden for children under 12. (VM = Vietato ai Minori = Prohibited to minors)
  • VM14 –> Forbidden for children under 14.
  • VM18 –> Forbidden for children under 18.

Classification according to law for film (used for example when you go to cinema or buy DVD ecc.) but in general for all video content, is this:

  • T or PT –> All ages admitted.
  • VM6 –> Forbidden for children under 6.
  • VM14 –> Forbidden for children under 14.
  • VM18 –> Forbidden for children under 18.

It would be really fantastic if you could implement it, as indicated by law, together with the label system, directly with the three red, yellow, green symbols. For an Italian it would be really easy and immediate to understand the classification as it would be identical to that used in TV, also because for the series broadcast only on TV (es. Rai, Mediaset) it is the only system indicated.

Thank you ;)

Hi, are you able to add the New Zealand rating system to this website? Your Wikipedia link has the certifications already. The free to air ones are most likely the best to use.

Any possibility to implement italian ratings?

The Wikipedia link has New Zealand, but it isn't supported on the edit page.

Hi!

Any chance you can add Belgian TV certifications? The values are the exact same as for France, but the classification may vary with the one for France.

You can take a look at the official page from the gouvernment : http://www.surveillezlatele.be/rules.php (in french) for confirmation.

Thanks!

Norway is missing. Please add. See Wikipedia article for details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_content_rating_system#Norway

If you could add Argentina as well that would be amazing!!! there is some info about it on the wiki article.

BTW, your api it's just amazing, everything is so organized and consistent. Making a user interface feels so good when you consume hight quality api. Thanks for sharing
