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_Trump

Spanish Wikipedia characterizes it as an "assault" rather than a "storming": es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asalto_al_Capitolio_de_los_Estados_Unidos_de_2021

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%83

(so does the Korean Wikipedia, for that matter) ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021%EB%85%84_%EB%AF%B8%EA%B5%AD_%EA%B5%AD%ED%9A%8C%EC%9D%98%EC%82%AC%EB%8B%B9_%EC%8A%B5%EA%B2%A9

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 with

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

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)

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)

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.
