[mb-users] Artist sort names for non latin scripts

[Kerensky97]

Actually as I've always understood the sortname it's already supposed to be
as Philip describes it.  周杰倫 is Chou Jie Lun, the sortname is basically a
direct transliteration, so if you (correctly) pronounce the sortname a
native speaker would know you're saying the same thing as the Kanji/Cyrillic
script.  Jay Chou is more of an alias used for releases in other countries;
and in some extreme circumstances of that they would even warrant a new
profile linked with a "Performs as" AR.

But the sortname is basically the latin spelling of the same pronunciation
as the actual name.

I can't remember how the wiki is phrased but perhaps it's just not clear
enough.
