Hi,

I was very fond of using musicbrainz and am really thankful of it's
worthwhile innovations. Automatically, most of my music are matched,
but not all. The local bands and local artists are the ones that I
would need to manually import or manually create.

In Ubuntu, they have a very nice support system for localizations.
Every applications have it's own "Translate this application" linking
to Launchpad. The good thing is they also have LoCo groups who
specializes on localisations, and with great success, almost all the
languages are translated.

As I was creating a local artist entry in MusicBrainz, I realized that
the idea of
local music groups specialization for MusicBrainz would be really helpful.

So I would like to propose the creation of MusicBrainz Localizations,
where each loco groups would specialized on the creation of local
artists & local bands, I think it would be a great help just for
MusicBrainz Piccard to query for a particular local song and
expectedly provide the necessary informations.

Probably to start with, MusicBrainz would create those sites for the
local people to join in.

Just a simple idea, but a really helpful one.

Regards,
Joel
