                1. 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

            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.

    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%B6

      "Incident" or "event":
