missing albumartist translation and missing extra MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMTYPE

[Andy2244]

Problem

This specific release will not use albumartist translation and only get one of the three listed albumtypes.

The release ends up in a "深澤秀行" folder, instead of "_Soundtracks" because the "MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMTYPE" is only "spokenword".

The same import via picard 1.4.2 gets the correct english albumartist "Hideyuki Fukasawa" (artist translation option enabled) and all three listed types "album; soundtrack; spokenword" in the "releasetype" field.

Hello! Here is the alias page for that artist:
https://musicbrainz.org/artist/84c2a1ee-f797-4760-a0d2-b20f608911a6/aliases

Please fill in the type and locale for the aliases you want to use. We only use primary aliases, marked with the language locale you've configured.

Currently, beets does not support multiple album types. Please search the issues here on GitHub for more details.

I did, but miss-took #2294 for the actual fix of #2200, but seems #2200 is still open than and #2294 was just for debug output?

Ah so the alias needs the locale field? How is picard able to get the english name without a proper locale field? Just using the first index, which is the english name by accident?

Yep! #2200 is the one, and it’s still open.

Not being too familiar with Picard, I don’t know how its alias selection works! If you find out, it would certainly be interesting to know.
