posted by Eckhard HenkelSTAFFMOD on July 26, 2019 at 9:39 PM
Item: Houdini, der König des Variete
Language: de-DE
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: The German title should be "Houdini, der König des Varieté" with last letter "é" instead of "e". See, for example, the German poster image. Or the German Wikipedia article: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houdini,_der_König_des_Varieté

The German spelling of the title follows the German usage of the French word "Varieté" – see e. g. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varieté. It is not recognizable that deviating from the general linguistic usage the wrong spelling "Variete" was used.

By the way, we should not rely on the spelling of IMDb – it is just as wrong as the spelling used here so far.

fixed, by the way you are right IMDB has massive mistakes with spelling for non-english titles or names
