Item: El Negocio
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Why is the translated title "el negocio"? It is neither Portuguese (original language) nor English. Surely we should use either "O Negócio" or "The Business"?

Hi,
Can we change the title from "El negocio" to "O Negócio" ?

I have access to the series on HBO Max so I can confirm that the English title is "El Negocio (The Business)".

I do not know why HBO Max uses "El Negocio" (Spanish). Maybe this is due to the prevalence of the language in the US but it is neither the original language (Portuguese), nor English.
Australia's SBS and IMDB both use the original language (Portuguese) title ("O Negocio", https://www.sbs.com.au/guide/program/o-negocio) and "O Negócio", https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2650940/releaseinfo) while thetvdb uses the English version "The Business" (https://thetvdb.com/series/the-business-2013).
Given this is a 2013 series that has been aired in Australia since at least 2017 and HBO Max was only launched in 2020, so in theory SBS's title (airing since at least 2017) should take precedence over HBO Max.
Can we assume IMDB is using the US's first airing title instead? In any case this means using the original language title (O Negócio).
Thanks.
