I don't know if this has been discussed or not. I noticed the Kraftwerk album titles that should be in German are in English here. Trans Europe Express should say "Europa," and The Man Machine should be "Die Mensch-Maschine "
Computer world = Computerwelt
Radio-Activity = Radio-Aktivität
Should the titles be switched to their original German titles? Because the primary releases for these albums carry German titles.
Same with their track listings. I can get the German track listing off of Grooveshark and RYM.
Interesting situation here. If the versions were released simultaneously, either version is ok to be listed as far as BEA is concerned (BEA is only interested in the original release). But to try and avoid potential edit wars where the data is changed back and forth between different languages, I think there should be some sort of guideline for this situation. Personally, I wouldn't mind if there was the English translation in brackets with the native language version taking priority. However, I'm only saying this because this is an English language site and the versions were released together (not sure how common this is). Interested to hear what others might think.
If the versions were released simultaneously I used to keep the native language version.

I second this option, but a few months ago, many albums with the Cyrillic alphabet were added and I had some troubles to use the bea live search, or at least it was tricky with my keyboard to find those albums.
