For instance, the Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) title for the movie 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' is locked and cannot be edited, which results in the English title being displayed only.

As per our rules, "The translated title should be the first official translation. In other words, the title of the first—theatrical, physical, digital or TV—release." and "The translated title field should be left blank if there is no official translation."

zh-CN is the Chinese language of the Continental Chine. So, as long as a movie didn't have an official release in Continental China, the title field should be locked blank.

Chinese Zodiac (2012) by Jackie Chan (https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/98567) is indeed a Chinese film and officially release in Continental China in 2012-12-20, but still the title filed is locked blank. How come?

You said it, it's a Chinese movie. The Translated Title field is only for movies that were locally translated into a different title. https://www.themoviedb.org/bible/movie?language=zh-CN#59f3b1749251414f2000000d

The problem is that the site shows the film title in English even if I change the language into Chinese.

It will depend of your Default Language and Fallback Language settings. If you want to see Chinese titles only, you can use zh-CN as your main language and no fall back language. Or use zh-CN as your main language and zh-SG as the fallback language for cases where there is a release in Singapore but no release in Mainland China. But if it's English then yeah, you're gonna see more content in English.

It works! Thank you!
