I'd suggest that even if the change can be made quickly, the artist name
should still be changed to the common (English) t13n. All other scripts
can then be retrieved via language alieses.
However, I doubt that this will be an easy task. The whole fieature would
only be useful if the album listing can be filtered by language. Is this
possible with the ArtistPageRedesign you wrote? In this case I'd suggest:
fix a vague timieline around march 2006 for both changes, and revert to
common i13n for now.
Whatever the development decision will be, IMO this case needs an official
ruling _soon_.
