:::But it's not a good idea. First of all, most of those names will be hard to find, especially Korean (I do know a couple of CoTD Korean names. But that's all... just a couple. And some sound pretty suspicious, so some may not be authentic). Not to mention that most dubs (like German, French) don't even bother to change CoTDs names most of the time (they do it very irregularly). So, those tables would be short, incomplete and uninformative. We shouldn't create CoTD langtables for the same reason that we don't create CoTD infoboxes. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:03, 12 October 2011 (UTC) | :::But it's not a good idea.

::::It's hardly the same as an infobox. And infobox remains on the right side of the page and is often longer than the content in the article leaving an unsightly white space. Language tables fit nicely at the bottom. It really doesn't matter if they don't have any other language besides English and Japanese. The main point of them is to explain name origins so we don't have to muck it the article with trivia explaining said name origins. You can see the rest of my explanation on my talk. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 23:30, 12 October 2011 (UTC) | |||
