Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Well I guess if you only know the english equivalent of songs and, having a large library of songs now, I sometimes can't find songs without having to consult the wiki.

Describe the solution you'd like Maybe like a local database on the device the keeps an english translation of the song like the dictionary function in python where a key corresponds to a value

While this isn't unreasonable, the nature of the game is that it's a community game engine rather than an actual game (akin to Stepmania), so we don't actually know what songs are really coming into the game. (We really, really do not want anything to do with the official songs. People just happen to use AstroDX for that.)

We do have plans for a way for charters to apply their own translations/alt-names to songs, but we don't currently have any plans to maintain ourselves a database due to the amount of effort it would take to maintain and update it.

A local translation engine is plausible though. Hmm. Would be unreliable, but it'd work.
