Requesting help merging two releases I made

Hello, everyone. I’m a new user, and would like to ask for help merging a couple releases I made.

I made a release of a newly released soundtrack for the “Tying the Knot With an Amagami Sister” anime. I used picard, and the cluster as release plugin to create the initial release. This first release is in Japanese. Then I made a second transliterated release for English speakers as a pseudo-release with all the same info, but in English. I thought that after I linked the two with a translation relationship they would both show up in picard under the same release group, but I gather from asking chatGPT that I was wrong.

I would like to merge the respective release groups for these two releases so that they can both be seen when matching with picard via the “other version” context menu. Is this what I need to do? Please advise, and thank you in advance.

On the right hand side of the Release Group page is a “Merge” option. Click this on both Release Group pages and you’ll be there…

The translation relationship on the releases was reversed. That is, the original release was a translation of the translated release.
I changed the direction so that the translated release now is a translation of the original one.

Another thing is that pseudo-releases shouldn’t have specific data to them (that is cover art, release date, catalog number, VGMdb link, etc., you can read more here), so this data should be removed.
