Different language titles- I want English titles online

I guess the title says it all (I left out that I'm probably deaf, dumb and blind).

Because I was born in one country, lived in two others and generally shop around the globe, I have DVDs with (mostly) English titles, German titles, Danish titles ... you name the language and I've probably got a DVD from that country.

In my DVD profiler on my PC I display the English title and sort by it, but when I upload, the original titles are displayed (although sorting by English title works perfectly).

So, is there a way of getting the English title to be displayed in the left DVD list online?

Any help appreciated.

P.S.: I did some searching here but so far I haven't found an answer yet. Have I mentioned that I suck at searching as well? ,)

Do you have DVDP set to include "Original Title"? Go to "Tools" - "Options" - "Display" - "Title Format" Once there you can choose one of three options. You might have "Original Title" checked - change that and hopefully your problem will be solved. But then I'm not very computer savvy - talk about the blind leading the blind!

Well, I tried all three options and the result is the same. I need to go through my collection and get a more thorough understanding of how DVD profiler works, I guess. Maybe I also need to enter different stuff in any one of those title fields. Time to experiment.

I forgot to mention that I'm also lazy.

Thanks for your help.

As far as I understand now (hey, I'm quick) it only uploads the DVD title. If I'm correct, I would need to enter the original title there, which, of course, I don't want to do because the DVD title should be, well the title on the cover. That's why we have the original title field.

So, is there an option elsewhere?

For some reason, this appears to be the only option now. Same for the mobile version, which shows original titles, but sorts according to the DVD Title.
Maybe something for a feature request, to make this a selectable option.

I simple put the English title in the title field and lock it (and obviously never contribute it). Only exception are movies without English subtitles or audiotrack - where I simply leave it in the original language.

As for me I just always select UK or US edition of the DVD in question. This way I have no problem with original/local titles, descriptions etc.
