Template talk:Another language

Text

I think the text for this template can be shorter. When research had to be done to find an official name in another language, it is very unlikely that an official English name will ever be found unless the respective subject reappears in a new game and gets named in the English version. For example, most of those Wario Land enemies left unnamed in English have only appeared in a single game and it isn't very likely that any of them will reappear. So we could just write "The title of this article is official, but comes from a non-English source, as no official English name is known." Opinions? --Grandy02 10:50, 23 February 2010 (EST)

I agree. --™ The 'Shroom 15:52, 8 April 2010 (EDT)

Maybe even drop the last part? "The title of this article is official, but comes from a non-English source." Culex 23:16, 8 April 2010 (EDT)

Nah, it would make it seem like the foreign name would be stuck to the article. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

So, would "The title of this article is official, but comes from a non-English source, as no official English name is known." be okay? --Grandy02 08:28, 5 June 2010 (EDT)

Yep. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Exceptions?

Does anyone else thinks it's silly to put this template atop the pages for medias like Doki Doki Panic and La planète de Donkey Kong? It makes sense to have something to flag elements like enemies and objects in a game, a sign that says "Hey, we don't have an englisn name for this enemy yet. Maybe someone could check if this thing is mentioned in an english strategy guide or a website?", but putting this template for works of fiction whose "foreign" name is so well-known it would be counter-productive to try to translate it at this point (as with Doki Doki Panic) or a programming block that, due to its very nature, is never going to be translated in another language and given an official english title (as with DKTV), because "they're not in english" is short-sighted and obscures the purpose of the template. --Glowsquid (talk) 15:41, 5 June 2018 (EDT)

I agree with this. Drop it from foreign media places with official names like Super Mario-Kun or your aforementioned examples. Ray Trace^(T|C) 15:51, 5 June 2018 (EDT)
