- Schnittbearbeitung (Honestly I never heard that expression in Germany. Where did You find that, VirusPil???)

Many thanks for the hint. Honestly I have to say, I can't remember, but I think this was added by me. Just checked the movie I think I've seen this and this was a really bad misreading. The credit was "Schnittberatung", which I don't think is a credit we track. (Really embrassing, sorry  )
-> I will remove it in the next update with your additions. Many thanks for them also.

Art Director:
- künstlerischer Leiter (I have never seen this in a German film as well. Any source, VirusPil? In very early films from the 30's and 40's there has been the expression "Künstlerische Gesamtleitung" or "Spielleitung/Spielleiter", but this was a description for the Director, not the Art Director.)
There is indeed no real difference in Germany between "Production Design" and "Art Direction". So Art Director can also be Ausstattung or Szenenbild.

Copied from Rapman's post, so I hope he can help explaining.

Quote:
Schnittberatung could be taken as equivalent for Supervising Film Editor. But that would start a long, long discussion in this forum whether to submit it or not.  So we better leave it out.

Agree in both points. 

Very useful topic. Here's my limited contribution. I'll try to make a more comprehensive list once things calm down at the office:

Japanese crew roles:
Henshuu / Hensyuu = Film Editor
Gensaku = Writing (Original material by)
Kantoku = Director
Producer (written in katakan) = Producer
Ongaku = Music (composer)
Onkyou Kantoku = Sound
Bijutsu Kantoku = Art Director
Kyakuhon = Screen writer
Satsuei Kantoku = Director of Photography

Does somewhere a list exist in which crew jobs in different languages are listed?

Tere is a very useful Online Film Dictionary

I'm not the specialist for those things, so I think it would be very helpful for some users to have those assignments somewhere listed.

If nothing exists, it would be nice if you can help me and list those direct translations of our allowed crew jobs and I'll make a list of the translations of different languages in this thread.

(And please correct me if necessary)

Just a remark to the bolded part: As "a film by" hasn't made it into the credit chart yet, I would leave it out for a list of direct translations.

At least for French films "un film de" is often the only director credit available in the credits. So, for French I would consider "un film de" to be a direct translation of "directed by".

No matter if I would add it here: if it is allowed or not has to be decided by different people.
For French, surfeur gave me these translations for Director:
- réalisateur (réalisatrice (for women))
- réalisé par
with my little French, I think these are the direct translations of Director and Directed by, the roles allowed according the credit chart.
"Un film de" and "Ein Film von" is a direct translation of "A film by", so if this is something that's allowed, it has to get ruled/decided somewhere different.

Quoting RHo:

Quote:

Considering the problems we have to get an exhaustive list of valid roles for Hollywood only, such a list for even a few languages would be futile.

This is typically a problem (as many others) generated by a "based on credits" rule. IMO, what is important, is the answer to the question "Who directed that movie ?" and this answer has to be entered in front of Director field, without taking in consideration how this guy is or is not credited accordingly to an Invelos rule list (that is not always followed by credit makers, specially outside Hollywood).
Each time we want to stick to credits, we are facing that sort of problem. I still wonder why so many users are interested by those credits that are far less interesting to watch than the movie itself (at least for me...)

You are right, it definitely means "Production Design". The direct translation would be "buildings". It is a bit old fashioned but of course it counts. Thanks.

Always learning something new. 
So "Bauten" aren't the people that built the set?

Edit: The online film dictionary says Art Direction for Bauten.

I hope Bauten hasn't another meaning in German, because in Dutch this word means something dirty
