[Data-modeling] Multi-lingual book (and other) titles

[John Giannandrea]

I like Yuriy's idea of optional metadata that tells you which names  
are native to the topic.
This could work if the 'native language' was non unique.

For example Brussels could conceivably have four, Brussels, Bruxelles,  
Brussel, Brüssel.

That doesnt mean we dont have many other languages, just that those  
four are more native to the city.
e.g.  http://mjtemplate.org/examples/freebase/names.html?name=brussels&lang=en

I suppose people could argue about the _order_ of the native property  
but thats data too.
