What is it?

See full mission statement from the founder.
IMDb Wikia is a place to help IMDb contributors to contribute credits of a non English movie into IMDb. If you are fluent in English and would like to add credits from a non English movie where you don't understand the credit's language. Or if you just have a minimum of English knowledge and would like to contribute credits for a movie from your own country. It works both ways.

What is it not?

Read carefully: this is NOT an internet movie database. I can not stress this enough. This is a wiki for IMDb users and contributors, nothing more. If you are looking to add info to IMDb, go to www.imdb.com. If you are looking for information on an actor or movie, go to www.imdb.com. If you write anything here that breaks this rule, it will be deleted without IMDb ever knowing and will be lost forever.


You should not take the translations to directly. These are the words seen on screen, and when they are taken out of context they sometimes lose the right meaning. If you want to learn how to use these words correctly in another language, see Wikitorya.

How does it work?

Just write any occupation in the search bar below. If it's a major film occupation then you will be redirect to the English translation. The page title is the name of the occupation, and in the first line it will tell you in which IMDb Department it should go under.

How can I contribute?

Occupation from

If you know of an occupation on IMDb that is not listed here and you would like to add it, then simply write the name of the occupation in the search box below and hit create. You have to find out wich Department IMDb lists the occupation and then replace DEPARTMENT (2x) with it. If it is not listed on IMDb, you should not make a new page for it. Instead you can create a redirect page to a similar English occupation title using the Translation form below. Remember to add the page to the list of occupations under the Department you listed it under.


Translation form

If you have a translation that is not listed here, you can write down the non English word in the search bar below and hit create. Please replace LANGUAGE with the language that the word is in and OCCUPATION with a English translation of the word. Don't be afraid to submit many different ways of writing the word, along with common miss spellings. If the English translation is not listed you can add it by using the Occupation form above. Please remember to add the page to the list of translations in the occupation you redirected it to.
