French Wikipedia puts Trump in the title of their article on the storming of the US Capitol; none of the other languages I've checked yet do that: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assaut_du_Capitole_des_%C3%89tats-Unis_par_des_partisans_de_Donald_TrumpOn twitter.com

Spanish Wikipedia characterizes it as an "assault" rather than a "storming": es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asalto_al_Capitolio_de_los_Estados_Unidos_de_2021Permalink On twitter.com

(actually most of the Romance languages do this; the only odd one out is Portuguese, which calls it an "Invasion") pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invas%C3%A3o_do_Capit%C3%B3lio_dos_Estados_Unidos_em_2021Permalink On twitter.com

The Japanese Wikipedia calls it a "raid": ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E5%B9%B4%E5%90%88%E8%A1%86%E5%9B%BD%E8%AD%B0%E4%BC%9A%E8%AD%B0%E4%BA%8B%E5%A0%82%E3%81%AE%E8%A5%B2%E6%92%83Permalink On twitter.com

Actually it looks like the Korean word used (습격, seubgyeog) gets translated variously as "attack", "raid", or "assault" depending on which other words it's paired withPermalink On twitter.com

Note that the Japanese (襲撃, Shūgeki) doesn't do this; it stays "raid" no matter which other words are deletedPermalink On twitter.com

Greek Wikipedia says "Protests and Invasion": el.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%94%CE%B9%CE%B1%CE%B4%CE%B7%CE%BB%CF%8E%CF%83%CE%B5%CE%B9%CF%82_%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%B9_%CE%B5%CE%B9%CF%83%CE%B2%CE%BF%CE%BB%CE%AE_%CF%83%CF%84%CE%BF_%CE%91%CE%BC%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%B9%CE%BA%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%B9%CE%BA%CF%8C_%CE%9A%CE%B1%CF%80%CE%B9%CF%84%CF%8E%CE%BB%CE%B9%CE%BF_(2021) (note that I'm going by Google Translate for most of these)Permalink On twitter.com

The Russian Wikipedia's title makes it seem like the terrorists won and successfully captured the Capitol: ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%97%D0%B0%D1%85%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%82_%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%8F_%D0%A1%D0%A8%D0%90_(2021)Permalink On twitter.com

Of the alternate translations listed here, I probably would have gone with "takeover" instead in this context... it still makes them sound more victorious than they were, though.Permalink On twitter.com

The Chinese title comes off a bit more euphemistically in translation, characterizing it merely as an "incident": zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%E5%B9%B4%E5%86%B2%E5%87%BB%E7%BE%8E%E5%9B%BD%E5%9B%BD%E4%BC%9A%E5%A4%A7%E5%8E%A6%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6Permalink On twitter.com
