This is tied to the "Preferred display language" setting in the interface section of the user settings page. You only see this effect with the cover tag, because it's the only translated song type tag.

@Shiroizu @andreoda Should the tag description box use the "interface language" (UI elements) or the "display language" (entry titles, tag descriptions) setting?

[Shiroizu]

@FinnRG - I think this kind of split is the most intuitive:

• Interface language = UI language, translations through crowdin: https://crowdin.com/project/vocadb
• Display language = Entry language, translations through entry edits

The line of UI/entry is blurred a little here, since the tag entry description is displayed as a part of the UI.

Based on the above distinction, I think in this case the behaviour is intended.

Ideally the edit instructions would be sourced from the wiki instead: #134 (comment)
