It appears that resources with title including "(Latin)" were intended to get an alternative title with the "(Latin)" removed. However, what we have ended up with is a duplicate title given one or more times. Please repair. Then I can test that it functions as a Verbum user would expect. Thanks.

    I'm having trouble understanding what you're saying? Could you point me to an example? One title should be sufficient.

    Could you give me an example? I think you're getting at removing "Latin" from titles like "Marialis Cultus (Latin)". The problem would be that it would be hard to disambiguate from the English translation: "Marialis Cultus".

    I agree re:disambiguation. Perhaps I misunderstand the purpose of the alternative title as I see no reason for it to simply repeat the actual title. I assumed it was a title previously given to the text, under which is is commonly known, ... etc. In which case having an alternative title less specific than the actual title makes sense.

    @mjespuiva-86 Ah, I see now. We were inconsistent with our use of inconsistent alternative title. Sometimes we used it, some times we didn't.
