@Mokona Added, there's two links in Band Recorded.
"Thanks to" shouldn't be added, see this post for the reason.

Nop. I checked. They're listed but except victor studio and bernie grundman, the other 3 (Rodriguez Room, Grandfunk studio, IRc2 STUDIOS) don't have entries to link them.

You should link them the same as the Engineers. So Victor Studio would get Band Recorded at, Strings Recorded at, Mixed at and Recorded at credits. At least from what I understand, although admittedly I can't remember checking other albums by staff members. But if that wasn't the way to do it, then we wouldn't have made roles for it.

EDIT: I see my mistake now. The problem was I thought you would link them with those specific roles as I explained, so didn't think to check and see that you'd just linked them all as Recording Studio. Sorry about that.

So, just to clarify. Should I let them as they are or should I edit them so that Band Recorded at and Strings Recorded at appear separately?

@whatkind Added, RD.1 CLEAR
You misspelled Art work co-ordination as Art work co-ordicnation. Art Work Co-ordination was missing, though.

So, I having a problem with these two roles:
Band Recorded (at)
Strings Recorded (at)

When I tried editing the draft of "Shimotsuma Monogatari Original Soundtrack" to include them, they appear as they should, (Band Recording Studio, Strings Recording Studio) but the moment I hit the button to link them they end up linked to "Composer (LEGACY)" role and not the correct ones. Can you check them and see why that happens?

I don't see those roles in the draft, either the intended roles or Composer (LEGACY). Is it on a different draft?

I did notice something though, the Photography credit there is linked to Compositor. Photography is a more tricky credit to link than others, it's explained on the Compositor role page. In that album's case I think it would be linked to Photography, not Compositor.

We already have "作曲" in the database but they also write "Composing" in the credit. I mean it does not harm to add it as well since we already have arranging role in the database.

The literal translations are music engineering and sound effect engineering, not sure why they decided to use these terms.

Problem fixed. I used a different navigator and didn't have that problen so I already manage to link them correctly. Duly noted the explanation for photography and fixed that also. Thanks for all the help.

@whatkind Added, I have Wi-Fi again.

@flameshot233 Added, belatedly.

@whatkind Added, after The Fact.

@whatkind Added, couldn't do it sooner.

@dopped9014 Added, kind of.
I added the Chinese roles with translations based on the roles they're aliases of. This of course means that almost none of the roles match the given English translations. I think the standard procedure is to just link the original language credits when given (I assume the Chinese is the original language).
This does mean that I had to add 音樂工程 and 音效工程 under Music Engineer and Sound Effects Engineer respectively, sorry about that.
I translated 所有樂器演奏者 as All Instruments Performer, but that sounds awkward to me. It might be changed later if someone thinks of something that sounds better.
Cover Design should probably be renamed to Cover Designer at some point for consistency, but it'll be very time-consuming with the current tools.

With so many requests, I imagine I'll have missed something.

@dancey Added as its own role.
Also added ソロ・コントラバス, since you'll need to link to the provided Japanese aliases on this album.
