IMO it should be at the moderators discretion. it's what's useful to the users that is most important. since it's a free-text field (album/track title), there's no reason to unify the data. If a french user adds french language bootleg titles to an english band popular in english speaking countries, they have to expect that to be either voted down, or edited, and vice versa. democracy rules :) this is unlike english names in the country field for release dates, as that's database entry, so has to be unified, and eventually they'll probably be a user preference to have them displayed in your native language anyway. _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
