This template allows putting information about the foreign names of article subjects and their respective meanings in that languages into an article. Note that this template is only for listing names that have appeared in official localizations in other languages. Running the English name through Google Translate or making your own translated name is not acceptable. Also, it is advisable to provide a source.
Usage
This template should be placed in the "Names in other languages" section of an article. If accompanied by {{internal names}}, then "Internal names" and "Names in other languages" should be made sub-sections of an "Additional names" section. The syntax is as follows:
{{foreign names
|Jap=クリボー
|JapR=Kuribō
|JapM=Chestnut people
}}
The language abbreviation and the abbreviation + M (for Meaning) are parameters. For Japanese and other select languages (see below), the abbreviation + R (for Romanized) can also be used. Each language can also be split into multiple sets of parameters (e.g. Jap2, Jap2R, Jap2M).
