Show Album/Song/Artist names in their original language
Is there a way for Apple Music to display names of songs/albums/artists in their original language?
I live in Canada so my Apple ID is of course Canadian. I use apps and iOS in English, because it makes sense most of the time. I understand Chinese and Japanese.
Apple please give us a toggle to display album/song/artist names in their original language. I know it’s localized to device language, it’s not about the Apple ID region or Apple ID language settings. If I flip my device language settings (to Chinese Simplified for example) the names in Apple Music will (comically) slowly transition to Chinese over a few weeks. The meta data is all there in Apple Music’s online database; it’s just not possible for me to decide if I want to use a language I speak.
As I see it there are three options Apple can do:
- A toggle to always display songs/albums/artists in their original name. This seems easy and doable; we just need some empathy from the Apple Music team to see the necessity for it
- An option to set languages you want to see in Apple Music, ranking from most preferred to least preferred, falling back to device language
- At least allow us to toggle per-app language settings for Apple Music on the device.
