Or maybe some extension that is messing with the pages?
Weren't you also having issues with the ads? I wonder if it could be linked.

So I just tried on Edge and the AKA section works fine. There was an update with Chrome earlier this week. I wonder if the Chrome update somehow messed things up?

Last change in the code of the "admin titles" page was 29/08, so nothing recent. I see there was an error in a closing tag (but it should not be the cause of such problem), I fixed that, but I guess it does not fix your issue?

I just edited my comment above with an example movie.

Do someone else have this issue?
I would say there is some issue on your side, it is weird. It looks like the page code is cut before the end, hence why it shows the list content instead of putting it where it should.
Do you have that for all movies?
Is there something below the country list?
What is the last country displayed in the list shown there? It should be Zimbabwe.

If you hit edit on any page, that already has AKAs, the drop down doesn't appear anymore. All the countries populate.

And I just tried to add some AKAs for a movie and the site won't let me assign the country. If you try it leaves it blank when adding multiple AKAs. See this movie for example.

What do you mean?

Noticed that when adding AKAs a whole slew of counties now populates. Not sure if some change occurred behind the scenes?

About transliterated titles, IMDb sometimes use dashes between syllables for Korean (but sometimes they do not), Wikipedia do not (they tend to be more consistent with this kind of things).
It seems a little strange to me to put all these dashes, so I'd rather use the way Wikipedia lists them, also to be more consistent.
It seems a little redundant to always put both titles, and it also makes the titles table heavier for not much added value.
On the the other hand, search for the title with dashes will often give no result if we do not include it that way. I could maybe add to the search an extra step of removing dashes in case there are, to add chances to find the title in that case.
e.g. for the movie whose original title is "Chinatown" written as 차이나타운, should the transliteration be "Cha-i-na-ta-un" or "Chainataun"?

What do you all think about that?

Thanks for the help I figured I would ask first then change it incorrectly.
