Add Fan Translation Tags for Games Database Media

See also Tag-Based Media System for Flexible Asset Classification

📋 Summary

Add dedicated Fan Translation tags for Games Database media so translated logos, box art, cartridges, and other assets can be categorized consistently.

❗ Problem

Fan-translated games often have custom translated media, but there is no clear place to assign these assets in the Games Database.

Currently, contributors may use regions like North America, United States, or World for fan-translated media. This causes problems because:

• It can imply the game had an official release in that region

• Users in other English-speaking regions may not scrape the translated media correctly

• Improved fan translations can conflict with official English releases

• Different contributors may use different region choices for the same type of asset

• Non-English fan translations have no consistent tagging approach

💡 Proposal

Add dedicated fan translation media tags based on translation language.

Examples:

• Fan Translation - English

• Fan Translation - Spanish

• Fan Translation - Portuguese

• Fan Translation - French

• Fan Translation - German

• Fan Translation - Italian

These would be used for media created for fan-translated versions of games, without incorrectly marking the game as an official regional release.

🧩 Use Cases

• A Japanese-only game receives an English fan translation and translated clear logo

• A game with an official English release also has an improved fan translation

• Spanish, Portuguese, French, or other fan translation projects need matching media

• Contributors need a consistent place to submit translated logos, boxes, carts, and discs

📦 Benefits

• Prevents fan-translated media from being misclassified as official regional media

• Gives contributors clearer submission guidance

• Improves scraping for translated assets

• Supports multilingual fan translation projects

• Reduces inconsistency across Games Database submissions

⚠️ Considerations

This should likely apply to media tagging, not necessarily the game’s main region field. Users may also need a way to prioritize fan translation media in their region/media priority settings. A friendly naming format such as Fan Translation - English may be clearer than language-code labels like Fan Translation-en.
