Native names

For films like When the Night, we need a |native_name= and |native_name_lang= parameters; or at least |other_name=. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:50, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Just so we're clear, do you mean a field for original title in native language? If so, I don't think this is a bad idea. --Rob Sinden (talk) 12:56, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Ideally, yes, with a language parameter (see {{Infobox settlement}}, for example). Perhaps |other_name= as well - so that the main name parameter is uncluttered by such things. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:09, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

In about 95% of the article I have seen this is handled in the first line of the lede. I think that is the perfect place for it. We don't need to clutter up the infobox any more than it already is. MarnetteD | Talk 17:27, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm not proposing to "clutter up the infobox"; I'm proposing to declutter it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:02, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
