Translate Foreign Data, If Possible.

One such program that already does this is MusicBrainz Picard, so it is possible.

Can you give me some specific examples of which fields you want to translate

First off, I would want this option to be not checked by default. Some fields I would consider would be song names, artist names, and album names. But I would want there to be check boxes besides each one as to indicate which ones you would want translated — and I would have no checked boxes by default for each field — even if you select “translate foreign fields” — so that you would be forced to choose. And I didn’t mention genre, because I’m assuming the genre is already in English, even for foreign music.

But how is the translation done ?

I’m not really sure — that’s a technical thing. All I know is that it’s possible becasue MusicBrainz Picard has an option to “translate foreign artists, if possible.” (I’m not saying Picard is better in general in any way, though.)
