Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Redump does not currently have fields to track either Disc Titles or Editions rendered using non-Latin characters. At present, the solution is to:

Romanize the text and add this to the relevant fields
Optionally, add information to comments containing the original non-Latin text

As there is no standard form for presenting this information, at present dumpers may add it using a variety of descriptions or formatting, requiring moderators to standardize while processing.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add optional fields to MPF for "Disc Title (non-Latin)" and "Edition (non-Latin)". Information input into these fields should, for now, be output to the Comments section of !submissionInfo.txt with the following formatting

<b>Disc Title (non-Latin)</b>: [field contents]
<b>Edition (non-Latin)</b>: [field contents]

This will ensure that the information is presented in a standard format.

Additional context
Example entry with Disc Title (non-Latin) information present: http://redump.org/disc/86763/
Example entry with Edition (non-Latin) information present: http://redump.org/disc/70291/
