[Search] Change translated song titles back to their original language

I listen to Fujii Kaze, and a lot of the meaning of the song titles either:

 

1. Require an understanding of the language because they are in regional dialects

2. Use text/online language to express meaning

 

The best example is the first song which is called "何なんw” which is translated directly as "Nan-Nan" which is stupid. This is Kaze's regional dialect of Gunma which roughly means "What's up". This meaning is completely lost in the direct translation. Secondly, the "w" is a commonly used text similarly used as "lol" because w stands for warai(笑い) or laugh. For these two reasons, it is super annoying that spotify makes interesting song titles devoid of meaning and I want to change them back to their original language. I've also heard a lot of K-Pop songs going through the same forced translation, so this would fix that same issue.

This wouldn't solve the issue at hand. The solution would be to allow disabling of this stupid auto-translate 'feature'. Such a half-arsed implementation of forced localisation is not really nice to deal with.
