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 1 Japanese 2 Russian 3 Greek 4 Korean 5 Chinese 6 Hebrew 7 Thai

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.
