# Planning your app ## 1. Who will use your app? Who is your app's target user? # Movie fans, in general. Movies not-originally-in-English fans, before any dubbing, in particular. # The database would consist of the winners of the Best Foreign Language Film (1956-2019), renamed # Best International Feature Film (since 2020), by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scientists. ## 2. What need or problem will your app solve? One niche database for movie buffs - no jumping around the Web! # This app pulls in data from various sources, and puts it into one small, useful database. # How do you know this is really a need for your target user? I have to do more research, but I think it's # a good way to promote both English and other languages through a brief, but desirable, translation. # How does the target user currently deal with the problem? Users can currently use Google Translate. # My app, called project_biff_ttte (Best International Feature Film translate title to English) # does it for them, in one niche program. # The app's main purpose is to derive an accurate English translation of the title of each movie in this list of movies. ## 3. How will your app's design meet the need you have identified? # Attributes (fields) would consist of: Year, Country, Native Title, Native language, # English-translation of Native Title, and Director # modules: all years # other modules: search by year, search by country, search by native title, search by native language, search by director # A module to add winners in ongoing years. # I will utilize an accurate translation engine, (most likely) Google Translate. ## 4. How could your app possibly cause harm? (For example, could someone get hurt if data leaked or if someone used the app inappropriately?) # What steps will you take to ensure that nobody is harmed by your app? # There could be an inaccurate or offending translation. Hopefully, Google Translate coders know about this potential problem.
