Shattered Dreams of Peace: The Road From Oslo


tvjjbj12 posted 2 years ago

Hello Aidan. 

I see you enjoy PBS Frontline like I do.

 I deleted this episode because it premiered on June 27, 2002. The November 7, 2023 airing is a rebroadcast of the original as described here: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/shattered-dreams-of-peace/. I perhaps should have let you know why I deleted it before you added it back. You may disagree with me. If so, let's ask for further guidance from JuanArango. I thought I should talk with you first before doing anything further.

Thanks, Joe

Hi

No problem ! It just came up as a new episode on the futon importer, that's all I know about it :)

Cheers :)

My bad, I was synching airtimes to futon and it flagged this one. I didn't look closely enough and thought it was a upcoming episode. Good catch !

Weird- wonder why it didn't flag any of the other back-to-back episodes... oh well. Either way all fixed. Figured I would post this anyways in case you had done the edit on the wrong show or something like that.

Please don't re-fix non-English episode titles ;))

I noticed you rewrote all for The Kidnapping Day back to english translations. When there is no official English title, we don't just translate and use that.

I even included some of the episode titles in the actual show so you can see how they look originally...

...there is no English version title other than some random subtitle by whoever made it.

This applies to Japanese and Korean shows 99% of the time. Netflix may have official English titles for episodes, but not Korean or Japanese channels.

Same as for Naruto or Meitantei Conan:

- https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/5429/meitantei-conan/episodes

You can see all titles in their language. I also always leave for proof some title shots in some of the episodes, like this...

Naruto - https://www.tvmaze.com/images/1000531/shi-liansabaibaru-yan-xi-image-1000531
Meitantei Conan - https://www.tvmaze.com/images/1036898/lang-huano-lian-xu-sha-ren-shi-jian-image-1036898

There is no English version of those titles, not even in English dubbed versions, just subtitled translation.

I think David did implement something where you can make alternate episode listing in English or other languages. But original should be used as primary listing.

Hi

It looks like I might've been moving a little too fast with the importer, feel free to rename them back

The alternative listings are only for when it airs elsewhere

Sorry for all the trouble

MAT13 posted 2 years ago

Okay, will rename them back in a week or so when they're all out. Official website shows titles only as they air. Thanks.

Don't change please the episodes' titles :)
Since the show is Spanish, the episode titles must be in Spanish.

Those abbreviations are just shorthand used in press releases and promos after first giving you the full name and not an actual name used for the show.
You never see the abbreviation used without the full name mentioned first.


Nivekolsen posted 3 years ago

The facebook post I linked uses the abbreviation without using the full name mentioned at all though. I guess I just don't see a problem with having it there.


Aidan posted 3 years ago

The facebook group name is the full show name.

But yeah, considering you've added like a million of these unnecessary abbreviations, whether this one is added or not makes no difference to me.
