Thanks, I can finish that release now. Smile The original is in SHS, to boot.

Glad I could help. In this case you want to make it an adaptation of "Butterfly" rather than the work that "Butterfly" was adapted from.

That's something I have a difficult time with. I was told I should credit the original with works like this. I even had one where the lyricist of an English adaptation was credited on the non-English adaptation of it, yet I still had to credit the non-English one to the original work. I suppose under certain circumstances, that rule can be broken.

Yeah, it can be confusing at times. In this case all the other versions of "Butterfly" are adaptations of the French version so I'd just follow that.
