Good morning everyone!
I wanted to ask you if it is possible to translate into other languages (in my case in Italian) the description of the artists, as shown in the attached image.
Thank you so much!

AFAIK is AllMusic.com
(which I always tend to substitute with AllAmericanMusic
in my mind ) the only provider for this kind of content in Roon and doesn’t offer any non-english content. The problem is, that such content is generally copyrighted. So what should Roon do? The only thing that comes in to my mind, is sending the contents to a online translation service (like eg. translate.google.com
), fetching the result and present that instead. What are possible drawbacks of such a solution?
What are the alternatives?
What is my conclusion as a non-english native language speaker?
It’s nice to have a translated UI, but for users that are able to read and understand the diverse descriptive content provided, it’s not needed and for users that need the translated UI, the diverse descriptive content provided is largely of no use. To really emerge the product into international non-native english markets, a complementary set of content is needed.
I would like to recommend the product to friends and colleagues, but the lack of understandable content prevents this in most cases. It’s a pity.
Only covering a fraction of the music / musicians but probably quite easy to implement and without licensing costs: provide a wikipedia content tab; that would bring at least some localized information (and may improve the overall experience, also for those preferring content in English).
