automatic romanization of artist names not working

^^
Yes, it's checked in my settings (took forever to get that page to actually load - sorry server admins), but all my Japanese artists, whose names are in Kanji, show up in Kanji, which isn't very helpful to me.

I don't understand why you can't edit your files....

Sure, it takes a while, but once your library is edited, then it's easier for you to look things up, no?

I personally speak Japanese, and don't find it a problem. I do find it hard with Chinese and sometimes Korean artists' names, but I find Google comes in handy, and that once I've edited things to my liking in my library, I find no further problems....

Usually when you click on an artists character-name, their description provides the onyomi/pinyin.

I'm sorry, I've never used this feature, but I'm not sure why the problem can't be solved outside of Last.FM...

(Perhaps explaining what it is meant to do, might change my mind...?)

I noticed this on beta too. Never got a response.
"Translate foreign artist names to English where possible" is still there in settings but not clickable.

All comments reflect the views of the poster and not of last.fm or it's management.
