This is intended to be a release _status_ if I understood it correctly. So yes, the release may be a transliteration/translation mainly. But the release _status_ is not. There it just doesn't fit. In my eyes "virtual" would be the best description for a status. But I'm fine with other things, just your argument that it's a translation doesn't work any more then, so you can't put a preference on this.
"translation" -- i don't see how it can become any more concise without losing meaning of what's actually going on. and that can include transliterations because transliteration is a translation that is literal.
I'm quite sure this is wrong but I let the linguists elaborate on this. Simon (Shepard) _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
