Whether or not the translator did a good job or not is a matter of opinion, not fact. Personally, I think he tried hard to capture the spirit of each song, rather than literally translate each and every phrase. Wacky walrus 01:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Wacky walrus

compilation album?
The article says this is a compilation album, and that the songs were recorded 1987-1996. Were they actually recorded earlier, or is that a reference to the original songs only? I could not find anything that would suggest the Spanish language versions were published before "the compilation". So it would be sort of a compilation, but also an album of new songs (if I'm correct). 91.154.188.185 (talk) 02:01, 13 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Roxette discography has a note about the album: Baladas en español consists of re-recorded versions of twelve of their down-tempo singles and album tracks, translated into Spanish., so that indeed means these Spanish songs were recorded in 1996, not earlier. 188.238.62.21 (talk) 22:02, 13 October 2018 (UTC)


 * The Spanish vocals were recorded in 1996, but no new music was recorded for this album—"No sé si es amor" backing track is the same as "It Must Have Been Love (Christmas for the Broken Hearted)", which was recorded in 1987; "Quiero ser como tú" backing track was recorded in August 1995. The music on these "Spanish versions" is the same as the original English versions. Hence "1987–1996". It would be incorrect to say the entire album was recorded in 1996, since the music was recorded much, much earlier. Homeostasis07 (talk) 00:47, 15 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Is that how all other-language versions are done? I thought that, while the music background is already existing, it would be used as a background when recording, so actually the whole songs would be recorded. 91.154.188.185 (talk) 18:44, 6 November 2018 (UTC)


 * To be honest, I'm not aware of any other best of-type compilation albums recorded in a different language. I know people like Shakira have recorded Spanish songs and translated them into English. Maybe some K-pop artists have also recorded Japanese versions of songs to try and break Japan/J-pop artists recorded in Korean, etc., but I can't think of any other albums done like this. And I don't think using the old music counts as a "new recording". Homeostasis07 (talk) 01:51, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
