Why apple music does not allow songs from different language display their names in their native language?

My library is highly mixed with songs from different languages (Japanese, Mandarin, English...). And I only keep the names of the songs in their native language in my memory, which makes me suffer from looking up songs in my library and makes the song information in chaos...

Is there any solution to this?

How to show song titles in Apple Music in their original language? Is there a way (other than manually changing song names) to stop the translation of song titles and show them in their original language? I was considering changing to AM from Spotify but having foreign language songs, esp. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean songs transliterated/translated into English make it difficult to read and sometimes lose their meaning. Is there a quick fix to this?

Set "preferred language" for Apple Music App? Many Apps provide the ability to select app language either in app or in the app settings page in the "setting" app. However as a first party app and an import online service that Apple provides, it lacks the ability to choose language on the iOS(it does have this ability on macOS though). My use case is that I'm using English as my device language and most of my apps' language. However, I listen to Chinese songs more often and I recognize the artists and song names in Chinese only. Many of the Chinese songs' translation are awkward and hard to recognize. So I need to set the Music app to Chinese language. It should be a standard feature for the Apple Apps anyway isn't it?

Songs purchased from the iTunes Store will presumably use names from that store's country. Songs you rip from CD may get titles from CDDB, which might always be in your preferred language for that content, however you should be able to edit the details as you see fit.
