Add Romanization support for Chinese (Pinyin) and Hindi (Devanagari → Latin) in Lyrics
Description (Isi Issue):
Hi @koiverse and the ArchiveTune team,
First of all, thank you for developing ArchiveTune! I really love the app — the UI is beautiful and expressive (especially the animated album art and karaoke-style lyrics), the loading speed is noticeably faster than Metrolist, and the overall experience feels premium and fun.
Feature Request
Currently, ArchiveTune only supports romanization for Japanese and Korean lyrics. It would be very helpful if you could add support for more languages, specifically:
Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) → Pinyin romanization
Hindi (Devanagari script) → Transliteration to Latin script
Why This Matters
Many popular songs on YouTube Music mix languages or use Chinese/Hindi (C-Pop, Bollywood, or songs that feature multiple languages).
I often listen to Chinese and Indian songs, but I can't read the original characters fluently. Romanization helps me follow along, sing, and understand the pronunciation much better.
Metrolist already has good Chinese romanization support (since version 12.8+), and users there can enjoy lyrics in Pinyin. It would be great if ArchiveTune could match or even exceed that.
Additional Suggestions
It would be ideal if the romanized lyrics have a distinct visual style (like the current romanized style for JP/KR) so it's easy to differentiate from original or translated lyrics.
Support for automatic detection when lyrics contain multiple scripts/languages in one song.
If possible, allow users to toggle romanization per language in Settings → Lyrics.
I believe this would make the lyrics feature even more complete and useful for a wider audience, especially in Asia and for global music listeners.
Examples of Songs That Would Benefit
Chinese: Songs by Jay Chou, TFBOYS, or any C-Pop track with Chinese characters.
Hindi: Bollywood songs by Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal, or Hindi pop tracks.
I'm happy to provide more examples or help test the feature if needed.
Thank you again for the great work on ArchiveTune! Looking forward to future updates.
Keep up the awesome development! 🎵
Best regards,
[Fasya]
