Multiple flags is not planned for now, here I just re-used the field that existed for the title. In some cases it would indeed better reflect the movie's origin, but on the other hand it is not so important for us I think.
I could add an option for that in the search. For these a "filmed in" flag would be more interesting, that' something to add later.

Will you be adding a feature for us to search by movies with flags? This might help for possibly when new plate searches arise if we have movies with say a Portuguese flag or a Maltese flag?
Also, are you possibly going to allow us to add multiple origin flags when there are more than one country that IMDb says the origin is?

Thank you for explaining
That makes perfect sense now.

We can update older titles with their original title, I do it from time to time when I encounter older titles. I'm not sure it is very useful to update entries just to add the flag, but as it seems that more people are for it rather than against it I suppose we can add it as well.
Transliterated title is the original one written in latin characters, so I'm not sure what you mean for German/Italian/French, etc. I suppose you rather mean International title then?
If so, in some cases it can be used for these titles also if the movie is more known abroad with that title. If IMDb mentions an English title as "Worldwide", or if the English title is used in most of the countries.
A good example of German title that benefits having an International title added: https://www.imcdb.org/movie_88323-Die-unendliche-Geschichte.html
But I'm not sure that putting the German flag for that one is really useful.

antp is the flag origin allowed to be added to older titles?
Also, the transliterated title is that just for russian, chinese, japanese, etc languages or should we be using it for German, Italian, French etc movies where the English title is widely known?

This was added long time ago, back then that list contained a two or three weeks worth of movies I guess
Now it is the last 100, I'll change it to 200
We'll have to wait for new movies to be added to the list: there is no more history stored than what is displayed.
So I can't really provide a complete list of that.
However there is an alternative, if you want to see the movies where contributions from a new user were last added, you can use this link:
https://www.imcdb.org/movies.php?sortBy=2
(found via Search -> List of all movies -> change sort order to Date added)
It is not fully reliable since at the end there are all the movies without users listed as contributor.
I could probably make something more reliable by sorting by highest vehicle ID of each movie, I'll put it on my to-do list.

If we talk about improvements: is it possible to install a feature which allows you to see more of the last completed movies?
I mean let's say I don't watch the site for a while and I miss several movies. But more than those which can be seen on the last completed movies list. What can I do?
It would be ideal if the movies list would be organized in a "See all comments" format: page 1, 2, 3... until the very first movie added on IMCDb.

Yes, the "filmed in" is planned to be added at some point, but that would require multiple flags then.
To make that easy to select, I should first improve the admin pages to use something more modern.

I agree with that. I thought of that years ago. This would be, indeed, an improvement. I voted for.
Why not two flags: one for "Produced by" and one for "Filmed in"?
However, I would agree to changing from '(Movie) country' frame to '(Shots locations) country'.
