Original names for movies - HSG1984 - 2022-11-22

Good day,

I have been using Kodi for a long time and have many movies on it. The title and content of each movie is stored in a database. This content is retrieved from the tmoviedb.org site. What strikes me most is that with non-English movies the title will be automatically translated into an English title. As an example:

"Im Westen nichts Neues" will be changed to "All Quiet on the Western Front".

Is there a way or option to display the original moviename?

In the content setting of the scraper, there should be something about keeping/using original titles.

Also, you can name your titles whatever you want.  Then, check or uncheck Settings/Media/Videos/Replace File Names with Library Titles.
