When browsing this wiki, I have noticed that we do lack something that is found across nearly every other NIWA wiki, as well as our Spanish affiliate Smashpedia. I am talking about language tables to list names used for various elements in other languages. I know Smashwiki does not have to always do what other wikis do, but I believe this is important and neat information that is currently missing in our wiki.

An issue is that to fill up the wiki with this info would be a quite large effort, however we are currently in a bit of a dry spell due to no tournaments happening, as well as next to no details known about future characters (and we would make language tables for any new element anyway). We would also need editors that are proficient enough in the languages the ''Smash'' series has been translated in, Russian, Korean and Chinese in particular.

*'''Support'''. As someone who enjoys adding localised names and their English translations (which I've done quite a lot of on MarioWiki, primarily for ''Mario Party'' mini-games), I'll be all-too-happy to make use of this template. <span style="font-family:Mario Party 2/3 Textbox">[[User:RickTommy|<span style="color:red">Rick</span>]][[User talk:RickTommy|<span style="color:green">Tommy</span>]]</span> 07:40, May 27, 2020 (EDT)

*'''Support.''' I've always loved Bulbapedia's langtable implementation, and until seeing this proposal I hadn't even stopped to think about how interesting it would be to see the foreign-language names for certain things in ''Smash.'' We don't need to do what other wikis do, but I feel that this is an aspect of the series as a whole that has some level of merit being covered here.

*'''Support.''' Pretty surprised this isn't already a thing. [[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]]) 03:56, June 22, 2020 (EDT)
