Song titles get translated in ML2

I asked this in the ML2-forum, but Psycik thinks it's not something he can "repair". http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=34164&page=6
Starting from post 59.

The problem is that songtitles that exist in the language file, are being translated. e.g. a song called "Exit" is translated to "afsuiten" (dutch for exit).

sub, I'm not using any of the skinHelper.getTranslation calls. And especially not to any field values...

Ok, I've added an additional paramater to the <DrawText> skin options for the next release. Specifying autoTranslate="false" will stop the automatic translations from being applied to a specific field on the screen.

The translations all happen automatically so that plugin developers dont have to actively do anything to support other languages.

The skinHelper.getTranslation() is for when the developer wants to manually translate a string. ie, if they're making up a composite string from bits that would typically be translated and bits that would typically not (like a number of files etc).

As I mentioned above, I've added a new skin setting for the next release to cover this situation where a plugin actively wants to avoid translation of a certain field on the screen.
