I could not agree more.

My spanish is'nt that well(comes down to 'Hola, como estah', 'buenas  
dias' and such),
but would'nt it be possible to do it with spanish bandnames also?

Maybe german also(Der, Die, Das instead of 'The').

I dont know what type of gramma that is, but most of the languages  
which have the
'the'-ting in front of the 'thing'(fx. 'the house'), could be  
supported, I think.

For an example, Danish is NOT that kind of language, as the 'The'  
thing becomes
a part of the 'thing'. Hus(House) -> Huset(The house)

Those kind of languages would be harder support and often not even  
neccesary.
