Audiobook: Translator in artist credits, title or neither

[paulakreuzer]

If the cover of an audiobook release reads: “Ilias Homer Neufassung von Raoul Schrott Mit Manfred Zapatka” what should be the title and artist credits of the release?

• “Ilias” by [Homer] gelesen von [Manfred Zapatka] (the Audiobook guidelines only mention author and narrator as release artists)
• “Ilias” by [Homer] Neufassung von [Raoul Schrott] mit [Manfred Zapatka] (crediting all artists prominently mentioned on the cover).
• “Ilias: Neufassung von Raoul Schrott” by [Homer] gelesen von [Manfred Zapatka] (treating the info about the translator as a subtitle.

There is a style ticket about this, but it’s 3 years old without a resolution.

The thread associated with that ticket:

Release artist style for translated audiobooks (STYLE-681)

JIRA link: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/STYLE-681 I noticed in the audiobook style guide that there’s no indication of how to (or whether to) incorporate translators into the release artist string for translated audiobooks. My current proposal is this: Author (translated by Translator) read by Narrator Is this a good starting point? Should I indicate it some other way? Should translators even be listed at all? All suggestions and comments are welcome.

I would put the “translated by” information in to the track details. Like instruments, or the composer details. I don’t think it is naturally part of the title.
