Good evening, Sirs,

for lack of a separate simple season indicator: how again do we construct a TV Series Original Title?

If, for example, the Title is "Sofd to Sofd: Erste Season" (where "Erste Season" is from the cover as per Rules and translates to "First Season"):

What is the legal official Original Title?

Love, bbbbb

I wouldn't really dare to paraphrase it, but the official answer is in the various posts by Gerri Cole in this thread.

As you can see, it's still rather messy. That's probably why her promise to "add this clarification to the list so that it gets updated with the next rule update" (a promise from May 2009, mind you) never happened. Of course, the ruling that we really needed was something that resulted in the "Original Title" for such sets to be the same accross the various regions/localities/languages, ensuring that the CLT counts them only once...

There was a lot of contradiction about the very same question two and a half years ago. Even moderation.

Consensus was that in the Original Title field the season indicator should be a direct translation of the season indicator from the Title (resp. the DVD), concluded by Gerri Cole.
