It really doesn't matter whether it's "feasible" in your eyes - it's just how it is. It's nothing new, too - the same goes for an on-screen "sound mixer" credit. That can be either "production sound mixer" or "re-recording mixer". We HAVE to look at the context to make the call. This is no different.

The answer is so obvious, right under your nose.<sigh>

You think so? From your post here, I gather that you've switched viewpoints, and are now agreeing with me? There, you're adopting my practice of entering a U.K. "sound recordist" entry as PSM - as it should be, indeed. If you agree with me, then what's the problem?

There's really no point in arguing when you've adopted my point of view...

I know it won't make a difference, but I have to point out that the reason we do it for the 'sound mixer' credit is because the crew chart tells us to...Sound Mixer (when listed outside the Sound credits).  There is no such statement for Sound Recordist.  It is, per the crew chart, 'Sound'.

Yet Skip said yesterday (link): "Check PSM, use Custom role to capture Sound Recordist" (again: something I wholeheartedly support, always have, and Skip seems to have finally seen the light).

Or it can be entered as a direct UK translation of the US production sound mixer.

Once more, and hopefully needed for the last time: The "direct translations"-passage was established to enable crew credits in other languages than English. Not for opening interpretation gates from one dialect to another.
English is English is English -> no translation needed!

And I really ought to know, since it was my proposal that brought this in.

In the same discussion it was shown that according to the rules in the version at hand it would be not allowed to enter crew roles from non-english movies so possibly this would be more acceptable.
(Bold is the addition by me)

Quote:
For each category, include only those people credited with the roles listed in the "Film Credits to Include" column. If someone is not credited with one of these roles, or direct translations of them, do not include them in the Crew section.

Would someone kindly notice the phrase "non-english".
One of the first things I learned in law school was that before you start interpreting a rule you check what was it's original intent.
EDIT: The other thing was: If your feeling for justice tells you it's right, it's most likely wrong.
