Ok I notice they do this with Movies. They change the titles of them to whatever the Language is of that country. Now if they were to do that with Album titles what would his albums be called in your country?

Lets take for examples sake. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars.


Also why dont album titles get changed according to the country they are released in like they do with movies?

in French :
L'ascension et la chute de Ziggy Poussiere d'Etoile et les Araignés de Mars

There's this feeling that we're going to be living until the end of time
This is ME

Der Aufstieg und der Fall von Ziggy Stardust und die Spinnen von Mars.

In proper and elegant French it would actually be:

"Grandeur et décadence de Ziggy Stardust et ses Araignées martiennes"

"I never knew butt sex could be so sweet" - Monkeyboy

In reply to:

---

Grandeur et décadence de Ziggy Stardust et ses Araignées martiennes

---

Fall / Décadence? Rise / Grandeur? it's not a traduction mais une interprétation... When you read the title, without knowing what it is about, you can't make a traduction of this kind... But i like "les araignées martiennes", sounds great. But once again, it's "from Mars", not "martian"...
Anyway, there's always (at least) one lost in a traduction

A professional translator would say "grandeur et décadence", "l'ascension et la chute" sounds a little awkward (especially when spelled incorrectly). And the best translations are the ones who stay away from the original syntax, not those that stick to it.
