Yes.  It's using the translation.  Do you have titles in multiple languages?

The relevant message for the translation (in i18n/mythfrontend_de.ts) is:

    <message>
        <source>^(The |A |An )</source>
        <translation>^(Der |Die |Das |Ein |Eine )</translation>
    </message>

If there's a problem with this translation, please alert Oscar.
