In my opinion, I would prefer that the lyrics be translated to English, because if you put some words in the English translation section that are not English, I would think that some people wouldn't understand. Let's just use "Hello China" as an example. Before I edited it, the English translation lyrics for part of the song were "Leisurely, xiang you lan, over there, xiang you lan" and another messed up section was, "Strolling idly, mai dong xi, over there, mai dong xi." I mean seriously, who would know what "xiang you lan" and "mai dong xi" mean without a translation (Well I knew obviously because I speak Chinese)? The translation wouldn't even make sense! They didn't even change "xie xie" to "Thank you!" So, I translated those to English. And for Russia's MKC, if we leave the lyrics in the English translation, "Hey hey nana," people will probably most likely think that it means, "Grandma." So, I say, yes, translate the other languages besides the Japanese that are in songs to English, because some people might not understand what's typed.
