Anyone know if there's some kind of database for American movie title translations? Like, if I stumble upon some random flick from the 40s, how am I supposed to figure out what it was called here in the States? Right now, I'm specifically looking for the title of that Houseboat movie with Sophia Loren and Cary Grant... but it’d be cool to find a spot for all these translations for next time. Thanks. 🙂

The only thing I can think of is some film encyclopedia. Too bad I don't have that floating home within reach to double-check.
I didn't help, I know.😁

I don't have a master list ready yet, but go ahead and drop a list of movies you need translations for. I'll see what I can cook up.

By the way, the movie *Houseboat* was translated as *House on Water*.

Thanks, White! I'll just shoot you a DM for the rest of my questions... 😁
