Non-English Language Article Titles Now Display in PubMed When an English Translation is Not Available

English translations of article titles in other languages display in PubMed whenever they are available. In the past, when a translation was not available, the title display in PubMed would read "Not available" or similar wording (see Figure 1).

PubMed has been updated to display the title in the original language when a translation is not available (see Figure 2).

Note that this change does not affect PubMed searching. The default title search includes only English titles and title translations. To search titles in the original language, select the "Transliterated Title" field that includes both transliterated and vernacular titles from the Advanced Search page or use the field tag [tt] (see Figure 3).
