I don't think so, because the title in the album title is still necessary. The title in the notes is not necessary, as something like "M4" is sufficient. Also, if someone uses the titles in the track-by-track credits, a complete translation could require 30-60 title edits in the notes, but the title is just one line, so it's much easier to fix.

I think we can ask people to change the album title if they re-translate the headline track, but asking them to edit all of that repeated information in the notes is a lot of unnecessary work. (Unnecessary because a format like "M4" is more concise and preferable.)

There may be other reasons not to use a translated OP/ED title for the album title, but this isn't a good reason.
