<div>I rather think we should use the translated title. When I speak with Germans about The Feeble Files, I also talk about the English version of Floyd - Es gibt noch Helden. I have also made it that way in my German Readme and News translation. Also, if we use the English title for the English version and the translated title for the localised version, then the games appear at different places in the list. The Feeble Files will be at the bottom and Floyd will be at the top. If you want to compare something inbetween the versions, this might be annoying.</div>

<div>To settle the argument: Why not make an option to select in the Options menu? This way the user can decide which of the two ways he prefers (use translated game title or use the title under which it was released).</div>

The goal here is to have an interface which localises game titles for<br/>
localised game variants to the language the GUI. So if I put the GUI in<br/>
dutch, my dutch HES games are shown with their dutch titles. In all<br/>
other cases, no translation should be done. I've got the code ready, but<br/>
I am struggeling with the actual place to put the translated titles.<br/>
The easiest approach is marking the titles with _s() in the<br/>
detection_tables and then translate the titles runtime, same as all<br/>
other text. But I think this is a pretty dirty way. Since this way all<br/>
translators are asked to translate the titles into their language even<br/>
if no localised version exists. Another approach is making sub-pot files<br/>
(per engine?) and only put the game titles in it which are known to be<br/>
translated. e.g. engines/scumm/po/nl_NL.po. But this creates new<br/>
challenges when creating the translations.dat file since we need some<br/>
merging code somewhere in the process.<br/>
<br/>
My question is if any of you have a suggestion on how to tackle this task?<br/>

<div>Technical questions aside. If we translate game titles, we should always use the version's original title, not just the selected UI language. Otherwise, it would feel totally miraculous why suddenly some titles get translated while others are not.</div>
