Have a look at this Australian DVD for Swedish film 'Jalla! Jalla!, EAN 9-321337-037202 - cover image below. Currently, the Title field has "The Best Man's Wedding (Jalla! Jalla!)", so both the localized title and the original title in one field. I contributed a change to:

Title: The Best Man's Wedding
Original Title: Jalla! Jalla!

...but that resulted in no-votes, as "that's not how it's shown on the cover". I don't get that - do we really want the original title appended to the localized title, rather than in it's own field?

From rules:
"If the title appears in multiple languages, use the title that matches the language of the locality and do not include an alternate title ( for instance in another language)."

Kluge is spot on.

Yup the rule is very clear on this. Jalla! Jalla! belongs in the Original Title field, not the title field.
