IMDB’s automatic language detection has bugged me since it was introduced (more than a year ago).
I do wonder what made them think of this, as I believe most users wouldn’t want to see the title of a foreign movie in their own language (movie title translations are so often misleading or plain wrong).
I’ve recently encountered a solution to skip the automatic language detection while browsing IMDB – by using akas.imdb.com instead of www.imdb.com, but unfortunately this does not work when using the integrated Firefox search engine (which searches automatically on the www domain).
So I modded the search engine to use the “akas” domain instead 🙂
