The purpose of multiple translations is to allow display lyrics in
multiple languages.

For example in some churches in Germany there are sang many worship
songs in english. But older people don't understand english. In this
situation this feature is handy. It allows singing songs in english and
older people also understand the text. There could be similar scenarios
where this feature could be handy.

In my opinion the data format is less complicated than using multiple
files for song translations when we want the feature displaying lyrics
in multiple languages. And with one file i think it will be easier to
implement it.

The feature of defining a language of a song is optional. The aim is not
that the user should put every translation into one song.

Is this reasonable for you?

I appreciate your comments.
