Hello,
I've been translating my website into new language: french today, and I am pretty sure there are some grammar/vocabulary mistakes in it.
I would like to fix them, and I need help from people who speak french.

Website is: MovieDB

Hope you can help,
Thanks in advance.

Hello

I went on your website.

on the left :

1) "Est" is not used. When we use the word "Est" it's for Russian countries. "You may use "Films Japonais" (but I just looked the first page)

2) What are Fan Films ?

3) I am not sure to understand "Indie" because in this page there are "Will Hunting" and "Quai des brumes" ?

4) films that are in "vacances" we use to put them in "familial" but here it's "Noël"

5) "acteurs - actrices" rather ""gens populaires"

Thank you!

About the movie categories, I can't fix them because they are being taken from external source.

Chantal, Indies are movies made by small groups who work independently of the major studios.

The suffix -ie is used when you clip a word to create a noun; you add -ie just to make it easy to pronounce.

Selfie - A phone photo taken of oneself.
Falsie - Padding inside a brassiere.
Quickie -Quick sexual encounter.

Is there a similar pattern of word formation in French ?

ok

"Indies" in France (not in French, because I'am not sure about Canadians)  could  be understand as "bollywood". (by the way it was my first idea, before I looked the movies).

so we rather say "indépendant" or "cinéma indépendant"

Now I don't have any idea about French words with a suffix just to make easy to pronounce ...

but more and more, we use English words instead of the French words when it's easier to pronounce. Quickie is used with the same meaning.
