In that cover image one of the languages is clearly the main tracklist, with the other just supplemental. IF you were to merge those my suggestion would be to use this format: 1. Primary Language (Secondary Language) That seems the most common format used elsewhere. > It seems sane tagging will be made harder by merging these, because > almost no one will want both languages, I'm guessing.

I wouldn't strongly object to combining both languages in a single release, but I would prefer not to start doing that just yet. I think we should just keep doing what we've been doing before NGS, so two releases in our database - link them with translation relationships and mark both official. And formulate how we think translations _should_ work, then I can start coding that feature and we can have this sorted properly soonish :D -- kuno / warp. _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
