Name in English[edit]

I am yet unsure to the exact English translation of the name. The movie is obviously a rip-off from a Soviet film - The Third Half. We will have to wait and see how they decide to translate it in English. It will most probably try a festival or two, especially such that know nothing of the Soviet film. That is when an English name will arise, most probably.--Laveol T 12:22, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Third halftime" is a semi literal translation of the title of the film and is therefore chosen as the title for this article on Wikipedia. Romanski1996

There has been a rather confusing series of article moves, which for a while separated the talk page from the article. Consequently, I didn't see this discussion until after having thrown my weight around, moving the article to The Third Half. IMDb seems to have settled on this title, and there's a poster out, which I have added. Regarding the old Soviet film mentioned above, it has an article at ru:Третий тайм. Admittedly I don't speak Russian, but Google Translate can be trusted far enough to establish that it's not the same story—they just use the same soccer-related colloquialism for a title. Even it were the same story, the correct term would be "remake", not "rip-off". Favonian (talk) 16:50, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish language[edit]

In the infobox "Jewish" is mentioned among languages, with a link to Hebrew. Since no Jewish language exists, I will change this to Hebrew. I do, however, rather doubt that the language used in the film is Hebrew. Given the time and place, it will probably be Ladino (or it might be Yiddish). Anyone who knows, please change to the correct language. Thanks! 79.160.40.10 (talk) 13:19, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say we rather wait until the film's official release. It is hardly a matter o utmost imprtance if languages used in the film are this or that.--Laveol T 14:47, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
