I added the Big5 title which is listed as 图雅的婚事, but it seems to change to 芞捇腔駁岈 after I hit submit. Can someone check this please?

Sorry for changing your 芞捇腔駁岈 into a bunch of numbers and can't fix it this time.

Fixed. The trick is: always add the Chinese titles/names in the Chinese display, not in the English display.

The problem was that one of the characters is not allowed by the DB 图 (simplified) you must use its Traditional version 圖

One last trick to convert Simplified titles in Traditional titles:

Select and copy the title (for example 图雅的婚事) and paste it in Google Hong Kong. Google engine will search the Traditional version 圖雅的婚事 so then you can copy and paste this version in our DB.

And then follow that up by double-checking and confirming your work on a site like cojak.org where you can see both versions, a la:

I will likely remove the English/Big5 option on the "Add" pages to eliminate this confusion.
