I'm not for the merger at this time. A translation should have its own article unless it is an official translation authorized by the copyright holder, and then it should be noted as such. In my opinion. - James Reed 23:35, 13 January 2007 (EST)

I personally think it should be the other way around. Official translations should have their own pages and unofficial translations should be listed below the original lyrics.

Any particular reason why? My first impulse is that the official lyrics should be accompanied by the official translation, if any, with unofficial translations being considered a derivative and separate work. (Of course, my way of thinking seems logical to me, but hey, what do I know?  ;) - James Reed 23:52, 13 January 2007 (EST)
Just so you know I spend most of my time working with Japanese songs, where an English translation, along with a romanized version of the lyrics, is almost always unofficial. A unofficial translation is included even if there is an official translation released by the artist.
My thinking is that if a song translation is released by an artist, it is a different song, and that each song should get its own page. The two songs are linked together with the {{Multiple Languages}} template. The translation is linked to directly from the albums it appears on. And as you say, the unofficial translation is a derivative work of the original song.
If there is much more discussion needed on this, it should be moved to a more visible place like the community portal talk page so that all the regulars can comment on it and a consensus can be reached.
- teknomunk (talk,E) 00:17, 14 January 2007 (EST)
I have always been for consistency. Whatever policy is ultimately adopted, it should be the same for every language unless there is a clear and convincing reason for the contrary in any specific case. Although I have my preference, since both systems are reasonable and this is the established custom for at least one language I personally have no problem with it being used across the board (especially since I have no desire to edit every existing article in another language to conform with my recommendation).
This said, I do think that this topic should be left open for comment by the rest of the community for at least a little while. Whether to link to it at or move it to the Community portal is something that I'll leave for you to decide.
At this point if no major opposition is found, I would agree to the merger. - James Reed 17:23, 14 January 2007 (EST)

English Version Edit

Should the official English version (titled "Ma Ya Hi", part of the US edition of DiscO-Zone) get its own page? Shruti14 19:25, 15 August 2008 (EDT)

There was already a page (three actually) for the English version, so removed from here. Shruti14 17:53, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

Lyrics Edit

The official lyrics, in Romanian as well as with a German translation, are found on the official website. Shruti14 14:48, 22 August 2008 (EDT)
