The purpose of this page is to document the redump standards for handling Titles which need romanization or transliteration.
Generally speaking, discs with non-latin or non-roman titles must go through a process called romanization or transliteration (not translation!) in order to create a main title. The exact method differs by region. Specific regions and examples are listed below:
Contents |
Japanese
- Japan is by far the most abundant region in redump in terms of discs needing romanization.
- Redump follows something very close to modified hepburn romanization in order to create standardized Main Titles.
- We are working on a detailed guide for this - WIP version here: GUIDE

Russian
- GOST 7.79-2000 is the official standard of the Russian government for romanization. For redump purposes, we use System B (without diacritics)
- for transliterated Russian titles, only the first letter of the transliterated title is capitalized, and/or Names / first words in sentences. It should effectively follow the capitalization used in the Russian title.
- For example, "Анабиоз: Сон разума" should be transliterated to "Anabioz: Son razuma".

Greek
- ELOT 743/ISO 843 is the official standard of the Greek government for romanization.

Korean
- Revised Romanization of Korean is the official standard of the South Korean government for romanization [1]

- Note: 의 (ui) at the end of a word can act like a possessive and becomes hyphenated when it follows a noun, see: http://redump.org/disc/42201/
- Note: Spacing is circumstantial and may need more discussion on a case-by-case basis.
