In countries where it is common to translate the foreign film titles into their local language, like in Germany and France, is the film title also modified into the local language? (I mean the title used in the film, not the cover). In the theatres, yes. But on DVD most of the time it's the original title. | | | Karsten

For example I do own a Swiss German DVD (with a German cover) where the title in the film on screen is Italian but the original title and the included original language track are French (Quebec). This is because the same disc is used for the Italian, French, and German speaking part of Switzerland. |
