描述 Describe
Thanks for providing very useful support for synchronized lyrics.
I would like to suggest extending this system to distinguish between different lyric roles and translations
FOR EXAMPLE:
- Original lyrics
- Romanization
- Translation (capable of choosing language)
For the translations, they could have a language identifier, allowing the user to select which translation language should be displayed.
This would be especially useful for Asian songs where romanized lyrics are commonly used.
Currently, multiple lines sharing the same timestamp can be treated as the original lyric and its translation. The problem is that the application cannot necessarily know whether an additional line is a translation or a romanization.
...
PROPOSED LYRIC ROLES
I suggest supporting an optional semantic role for each lyric layer.
For example:
ORIGINAL = [or]
ROMANIZATION = [ro]
TRANSLATION = [tr]
(The exact syntax is not important; the important part is that Salt Player can distinguish these roles)
Conceptually:
[00:12.00][Original]: 我喜欢你
[00:12.00][Romanization]: Wǒ xǐhuān nǐ
[00:12.00][Translation]: I like you
This would allow the existing "translation" functionality to evolve into a more general multi-layer lyric system.
...
FOR THE LANGUAGE IDENTIFICATION
it would be useful to optionally identify the language.
For example:
-Original:
role = original
language = zh
-Romanization:
role = romanization
language = zh-Latn
-Spanish translation:
role = translation
language = es
-English translation:
role = translation
language = en
BCP 47 could be used for the language identifiers where appropriate.
This is useful because "translation" alone does not tell the application which language the translation is written in.
For example, a song could have:
Translation → Spanish
Translation → English
Translation → French
while all three remain synchronized to the same timestamps.
...
UI Structure
The existing translation toggle could potentially be expanded to something like:
Lyrics:
☑ Original
☐ Romanization
☐ Translation
And when Translation is enabled:
Translation language:
● Spanish
○ English
○ French
This would allow combinations such as:
Original + Romanization
Original + Translation
Original + Romanization + Translation
Only Romanization/Translation
This semantic information would only be used when explicitly available.
I think this could be a natural extension of Salt Player's existing lyric system rather than a completely separate feature.
