Requests for Japanese translation improvements in Roon (ref#54MKVL)

[The worst Japanese translation]
“Fats Waller” has been translated into Japanese as “ふぁっつうぉーらー” in hiragana, but the correct transliteration is “ファッツ・ウォーラー” in katakana.
In Japan, no one writes the names of foreign artists in hiragana.

“Cool & the Gang” has been translated into Japanese as “クールアンドザギャング”, but the correct transliteration is “クール＆ザ・ギャング”.
Writing “&” in katakana makes it very difficult to read.

[Unnecessary wording in the Japanese album title]
Although it is translated as “創世記(EW&Fのアルバム),” simply “創世記” is sufficient.
That is how it appears on the cover of the CD released in Japan.

[Yoshihiro_Kikuchi]

“(声楽家)” is unnecessary.

[Sloppy Japanese translation using only the surname]
“ルートヴィヒ・ヴァン・ベートーヴェン” is the correct spelling.
The same applies to the others.

[Yoshihiro_Kikuchi]

“Eumir Deodato” is translated into Japanese simply as “デオダート” but “エウミール・デオダート” is the more appropriate form.
The Japanese Wikipedia also lists his full name as “エウミール・デオダート”

While “Philharmonia Orchestra” is the English name, the Japanese designation is “フィルハーモニア管弦楽団” (Philharmonia Kangengakudan). Since there is a Japanese Wikipedia entry, it is possible to set the name in Japanese.

Although the Japanese Wikipedia description includes “The,” it appears that the correct name does not actually include it.

Incidentally, I have 660 non-Japanese artists in my library; of these, 67 (approximately 10%) lack a Japanese name entry.Given that these are lesser-known artists without Japanese Wikipedia pages, this is likely unavoidable.
