Transliteration of song titles

This is the best update ever! Thanks for it, LT. No more messy transliteration formats. I want to ask something, though. Is this correct for K-pop where there could both be an English title, which of course is in Latin, and a form of transliteration for the Korean title?:

How to write down the titles of the songs, if the main and alternative title was originally written not in Latin?

Here is a Russian-Japanese song with Russian and Japanese titles.
Namida no nichiyoubi 『涙 の 日 曜 日』 | Ya idy iskat' tebya (Я иду искать тебя)

https://lyricstranslate.com/ru/royal-knights-ya-idy-iskat-tebya-%D1%8F-%...

Should it now be written like this?:
Title: 涙の日曜日 [Я иду искать тебя]
Transliteration: Namida no nichiyoubi [Ya idy iskat' tebya]

thanks)

I really hoped the migration could be done automatically for Persian as well.
Is there a way it can still be done?
I'm a programmer, if you let me know what language you use on back-end, I can write a function to give the new title and transliteration based on the current title. It can work for both Persian and Arabic!
Because doing it manually will take a lot of time and we (3 Persian Editors) can never finish doing it!!
I'm sure for Arabic it's a similar situation!

Thank you for this device.
For OSTs, do we add the original title of the dubbed song at the end on the transliteration?

I mean, this kind:
Original title: 我们是平等 [We're The Same (Sisi ni sawa)]
Transliterated: (Wǒmen shì píngděng [We're The Same (Sisi ni sawa)])

Or this kind:
Original title: 我们是平等 [We're The Same (Sisi ni sawa)]
Transliterated: (Wǒmen shì píngděng)

Because I tried it on this song, but the title shown on the artist's list is very long, and not quite practical to read as you can see: https://imgur.com/a/ywUwUc4

Maybe another device like this one for OST can be created? Something that'll classify the songs by their original song, and then dubs:
Ex:
▼ The Circle Of Life (English)
→ Le cercle de la vie (French)
→ El cerclo de la vida (Latin Spanish)
→ …
▼ I Can't Wait To Be King (English)
▼ Be Prepared (English)

Etc? I think it'll be more praticle to see those title, their original song, and their transliteration when not written in a Latin language. Just an idea :)

[@lt] Thanks for this new feature

It seems Persian and Arabic pages have not changed, I chose Original (transliterated) in my profile but e.g. the songs of this Arabic page didn't change https://lyricstranslate.com/en/nancy-ajram-lyrics.html Then I chose (transliterated) Original in my profile but the songs of this Persian page https://lyricstranslate.com/en/mehdi-ahmadvand-lyrics.html didn't change

I have already corrected titles of many songs e.g. this page and did put transliterations in "( )" https://lyricstranslate.com/en/mehdi-ahmadvand-lyrics.html can't the system recognize this "( )" ?

Also it would be good when we want to add a song when we choose a language like Persian, an explanation appear below the title field like: "Please use only Persian letters"
And an explanation below romanized title field like: "Please use only Latin letters (diacritics are allowed, for example à, ç, é, è, í)"

What about Thai? It needs to be added so the transliterated title box is available for that too.

Ah, seems like I only had checked for languages that are not in the requires transliteration categories yet.

It is only a single word that is in Greek, therefore I'm not sure whether we should categorize it as Greek.

Btw, all the other kinds of Greek should also get transliteration: Greek (Ancient), Greek (Cappadocian, Farasiot), Greek (Cypriot), Greek (Pontic), Greek (Thraki)

I had only been looking at the song list on my user page: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/translator/sciera?page=8&t=transcriptions
E.g. "ひぐらしのなく頃に" there is missing a transliteration.

Ah, makes sense.

What about Korean songs?

The majority of them come with an English title as well e.g. 바다 (Sea) In this case 바다 (bada) means literally sea but in some other cases 불타오르네 (Fire) 불타오르네 (bultaoleune) means Burning up. However, the artist has decided that the "international" title for this song will be Fire .

Same goes for many Japanese songs as well. This is a way for the international fans to be able to recognise the songs and it works kinda like a transliteration for whomever can't read Hangul or Kanji. In this case how should we submit the titles?

불타오르네 (Original title)
bultaoleune , (Fire) (Transliteration)
So at the end it would look something like : 불타오르네 (bultaoleune) (Fire)

OR

불타오르네 (fire) (Original title)
bultaoleune (Transliteration)
So at the end it would look something like : 불타오르네 (Fire) (bultaoleune)

Today some users have added new lyrics and the titles looked like this : 이상하지 않은가 (Strange) (isanghaji anh-eunga (Strange)) . The title is unnecessarily too long

Personally I don't think a transliteration would be needed here , unless the title is written only in Hangul. Anyone who doesn't speak or can't read Korean knows the songs by their English title. On the other hand, whomever is familiar with the language he can read Hangul already.

The title has been changed. Since the song belongs to Aneela, Arash is the featuring artist (they did a collaboration). The title was left in its original Hindi.

I don't see the point of not including a transliteration, many readers might wish to have one. I think the best practice would be to include "Korean title [English title]" in the main title field and the transliteration of the Korean title in the transliteration field.
This way, if readers are not interested in the transliteration, they will only select "original" as preferred view, while if they are, they will choose one of the other two options. But opting one out for everyone doesn't make much sense, imo.

No, it won't if you put it like this:
- Title field: "Korean title [English title]"
- Transliteration field: "Transliterated Korean title"
In the end, it will turn out like this: Korean title [English title] (Transliterated Korean title)"

Thank you very much for converting Persian and Arabic songs.
We can fix the special cases (with bad format) manually.
Thanks again

Not from what I've noticed: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/frozen-2-ost-lyrics.html-0

I have another suggestion/request, not specific to any language.

Can you add an option to artist page, on top of song list, to show Title and Transliteration in separate columns instead of one column?
It makes it much easier to review and fix the titles.
And to find songs that don't have Transliteration title.
And to find songs in general.

It's okay if option is not saved anywhere for now.
Ideally it can be saved in a cookie in browser.

[@LT] I'll repost this:

And another thing too. I've seen two formats being used for OST titles:
1. Title field: "Original title [Alternative title]" + Transliteration field: "Transliterated title" = Original title [Alternative title] (Transliterated title)
2. Title field: "Original title" + Transliteration field: "Transliterated title [Alternative title]" = Original title (Transliterated title [Alternative title])
I don't think the second option should be used for two reasons: (1) it looks a bit less neat with that ([ thing; (2) if someone selects the option "original script" only, they will not see the alternative title, which is very important, especially in OSTs.

Well I've just started working on the problematic Arabic and Japanese contents (i.e. mostly cartoons dubbed versions). But I came across this entry.

[@lt], you edited this one but I don't understand how you proceeded. I mean, perhaps I misapprehended the purpose of this feature...
This is what you did:
Title : サークル・オブ・ライフ
Transliterated title: Sākuru Obu raifu (reprise) [Circle of Life (Reprise)])

But this is how I would have done myself:
Title : サークル・オブ・ライフ (Reprise) [Circle of Life (Reprise)])
Transliterated title: Sākuru Obu raifu (Reprise)

Can someone explain it to me?

Edit: oh perhaps it was done automatically... And it went like this because of the brackets?

[@lt] So from now on we put: "Original title" 내가 널 찾을게 (I'll Find You)
"Transliteration" (it will transliterate automatically the Korean part only, so nothing should be done from our part)

Same goes for any other similar case.
