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:
