# 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.
