Tate Talk™ #6: Annotating Songs That Have More Than One Language

Hello!
What’s Tate Talk™, you ask? It’s a weekly series where we can all come together to talk about annotations, so we can learn and improve our tatesmanship! Check out last week’s installment on Updating old annotations with new information. Sign up to write your own Tate Talk™ here.
