Labelling an opera with a libretto in Dutch as "Dutch", yes; but I'm a bit puzzled by the labelling of, for example, Opus 6: Six divertissements pour clavecin ou forte-piano avec accompagnement de violon as "French". Obviously the title is in French; are the instructions also in French (lentement or whatever rather than adagio etc); and even if they are, is this of more than the most trivial concern? But perhaps I'm missing something here. -- Hoary (talk) 23:33, 28 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
I agree. I copied the list from fr:WP, where it includes a lot stuff I deemed extraneous. I actually thought I had deleted these too, but notice that: (1) MOS:MUSIC seems to mandate exactly this, and (2) on fr:WP the language labels are much less obtrusive.
It seems to me that the 'language' designation on a work title is normally the language of the body of the work, so we say "Quo Vadis (Polish)" or "Quo Vadis (English)" for a translation, not "Quo Vadis (Latin)". Clearly the language of the body of any of Just's works (except, arguably, the operas) is "Standard musical notation". In many cases the works were published in more than one place, and the titles would have been translated appropriately, but the *works* themselves are not translations.
