Should a translation of a release title be added to the original language release group?

Hello,
I have a 6 CD boxset:
Villa-Lobos conducts Villa-Lobos
Here it is on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/release/15689856-Villa-Lobos-Villa-Lobos-Conducts-Villa-Lobos (added by me a few years ago)

It is just an English translation of:

Villa‐Lobos par lui‐même

All tracklisting, recordings, works are the same. Just a different title and cover

Am I OK to add the English release to the existing release group that has a French title?

Thanks!

Yes (adding more to get past min 20 char limit)

Yeah - if the content is the same, it should be in the same release group. For classical, that means same audio, of course, not just same works or even same performers. So, all reissues of the same recording of the Goldberg Variations by the same pianist share a release group, but a new recording by the pianist gets a new release group (and probably requires adding release group disambiguations to specify one is the 1950 recording and the other the 1980 recording or whatever).

If the content was translated, that’d be a less clear answer, but luckily that’s not a common issue with classical.
