Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Many scenes have used alternate titles for various reasons. Updated by the original studio, re-releases from different distributors, remasters, DVD releases, etc. While the original title is usually preferred as the "canonical" title, having a field for alternate titles would allow for this additional information to be saved and (perhaps more importantly) to be searchable.

There has also been some desire for standardizing scene titles to some extent as well, fitting formatting/capitalization/grammar to an agreed upon community style guide. There has not been any movement towards enforcing this, mostly because there's a consensus that preserving the original title is more important at this time. Having an additional space to save the original title's formatting may allow the community to feel comfortable starting on this project.

Describe the solution you'd like
A new field for any alternate titles deemed appropriate for a scene. They could be displayed on a scene's details page in a smaller font size underneath the primary title with a leading "A.K.A.", similar to the formatting on IAFD.

A further step could categorize individual alternate title entries similar to links saved to a scene or performer, with labels for "Original Title", "Standardized Title", "Updated Title", "Redistributed Title", "DVD Title", a generic "Alternate Title", etc. This could allow for users in Stash to set a preference for one of these categories to be the default scene title when scraping, similar to the proposal for categorized performer images.

Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternatives that I can think of. It's just a request for a new space to put additional information that could be helpful for preservation and/or identification.

If a stash-box instance was used for amateur content, there is usually no single scene title. Titles would need some sort of voting system or select the main title by the number of submissions.

It was pointed out on Discord that another consideration here is support for different languages. The main use-case would be for JAV releases where typically we use translated versions of everything in English. Alternate fields would allow us to keep both translated versions alongside the original Japanese titles.

An extension to this idea would be to also support alternate scene descriptions. Again, multiple languages could be one use for this feature. We could also keep one for the original unaltered description and another for a "clean" description that has corrected typos, etc.
