Requesting change to "La libertad" as primary title.

[edit]

This film is professionally known as La libertad. "Freedom" is only a rough translation of the title, the film has never been given a release under it. If we care about semantics, the correct english translation is "Liberty." La libertad ought to be the primary title. Anyone who may be looking for this film will undoubtedly use "La libertad" as a search term.

Several screenings which took place in the USA used the title "La libertad."

If we are going to impose unofficial title translations then you should do the same for Sombre, Un Lac and many other lesser known french and spanish film pages on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bellicus (talkcontribs) 21:12, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
