I think that the guidelines regarding release/track titles should be based on the previous guidelines, white-listing things that don't have to be applied to recording/track titles. If we want to allow people to submit releases "as on cover" without reading the release group/recording guidelines, we will end up with a FreeDB clone. > Normalizing track titles to get a normalized translation seems quite > interesting to me, but I feel this would be perverting the database > structure.

Hmm, I > feel I am not quite clear here. I disagree. I'm not talking about pseudo releases, that users translate for their convenience. I'm talking about official releases with different barcodes that simply have titles in different languages. I see them as different releases, not just "translations" of the release in the primary language.
