I have still not been convinced that adding transliteration/translation
attributes is either necessary or desirable. Several other people
agreed on this list that having the server compute this is best. It's
not clear to me when Dustin asks "who is the person to talk to to get
this done" just exactly what he wants done, but I would still oppose
adding the attributes as they exist now on the test server.
I would say that Lukas is probably the best person to ask about an
enhancement to the album page to display the name correctly as
translation or transliteration.
If it will be a long time before he (or Rob) could get to this, I'd be
more open to the version where the attribute is optional, and if present
simply adds "iter" to the appropriate place. That way at least some of
the data in the database already would display correctly. I will try to
get this up on the test server shortly so that you can see how that
would look.
