but what's this? why aren't "Language: English" and "Status: Official" also highlighted?

that counts as a release edit, so the release is highlighted
2013-02-10 04118, 2013
ianmcorvidae
because it doesn't keep track of *what* is being edited, just *that* things are being edited
2013-02-10 04122, 2013
ianmcorvidae
yeah
2013-02-10 04126, 2013
flamingspinach
I see :)
2013-02-10 04133, 2013
ianmcorvidae
most of the other things are separate entities, hence the highlighting
2013-02-10 04138, 2013
flamingspinach
speaking of that release, though...
2013-02-10 04139, 2013
ianmcorvidae
medium, recording, release, etc. :P

is there some easy way for me to change all the recording associations on the romanized pseudo-release to match the recording associations on the official release?
2013-02-10 04110, 2013
flamingspinach
because it's transliterated, searching for them in the release editor will be rather time consuming

flamingspinach: do you want to just merge the recordings?
It works fine, even if jesus2099's screenshots seem offputting :p
2013-02-10 04132, 2013
reosarevok_ goes through airport security - back in a while maybe!

haha jesus2099's screenshots are awesome

I guess it sends them one at a time to avoid overloading the mbz server or something...

What is Language in Release information ? Can i use Language as Hindi, where lyrics is in Hindi ?
2013-02-10 04120, 2013
flamingspinach
dixon17: it means the language of the information on the packaging
2013-02-10 04124, 2013
nikki
that's the language of the track names
2013-02-10 04135, 2013
flamingspinach
mainly the tracklist
2013-02-10 04100, 2013
flamingspinach
nikki: well, I've sometimes put Language = Japanese when the tracklist is all in English but everything else like liner notes and lyrics etc. are in Japanese
even though the entire tracklist and even artist names were in English or romanized Japanese names
2013-02-10 04128, 2013
flamingspinach
do you disagree with that, nikki?
2013-02-10 04142, 2013
nikki
no
2013-02-10 04107, 2013
flamingspinach
hmm
2013-02-10 04147, 2013
flamingspinach
well, I don't really see the difference between a fragment of the title being in Japanese and everything else being in English, vs. the liner notes being in Japanese and everything else including the title and tracklist being in English
2013-02-10 04152, 2013
flamingspinach
but if those are the guidelines...
2013-02-10 04129, 2013
dixon17
ok, i understand... But how can i show others that one album's lyrics is in Hindi language ?
2013-02-10 04129, 2013
nikki
the main aim is to be able to distinguish multiple tracklists (e.g. the mythical day when we get vgmdb-style tracklists)
2013-02-10 04103, 2013
nikki
dixon17: at the moment we don't have a way to display that on the release page :(
2013-02-10 04109, 2013
nikki
hm. would be nice though
2013-02-10 04110, 2013
flamingspinach
vgmdb has a lot of nice features haha
2013-02-10 04142, 2013
flamingspinach
such as the ability to enter credits to people who aren't in the database yet
seems we don't make a difference between "spoken vocals" and "rap vocals"?
2013-02-10 04105, 2013
nikki
heh. rap...

some would say there's a difference between spoken vocals and "rap"
2013-02-10 04140, 2013

Some being most :p
