My dumb ass can't spell my thoughts correctly "Artwork autofiller for non-english titles and artists".

I'm suggesting the development of an 'Artwork Autofiller' feature for non-English titles and artists. The problem arises when the album, song or artist title is in a language other than English, like Russian, for instance: "ДО ТОГО КАК СТАЛ ИЗВЕСТЕН". Currently, any international community adds a translation to the title to create the page, resulting in something like "ДО ТОГО КАК СТАЛ ИЗВЕСТЕН (BEFORE HE BECAME FAMOUS)". (https://genius.com/albums/Morgenshtern/Before-he-became-famous)

My proposal is to consider parsing the English part from the title if it's enclosed in brackets and search for the original non-English title instead. For example, it would search for 'ДО ТОГО КАК СТАЛ ИЗВЕСТЕН' without including the translation in the URL. It would probably some sort of a toggle in Enchancer settings like "Use old songs by default" maybe for this parsing.

There is probably an easier fix for this, but that's what I could think of.

I believe girl who previously assisted with the YouTube Autolinker, may have already developed a parser that accomplishes this. Collaborating with him could be beneficial. This parser could also fix YouTube autolinker on the song page, if you think about it, because currently it just does not work if it's not English title only. (P.S. wrong, it actually works still, but artwork doesn't)

Implementing this change, if executed correctly, can significantly benefit various international communities on Genius. I find it puzzling why Genius hasn't enabled editable URLs, as this would solve numerous issues for international users, including fixing Apple Music linking and potentially boosting Genius's search engine rankings.
