                  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 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":
