Titles in the Latin alphabet keep their names for the page's heading. E.g.
 * • English→The BIG ALbum
 * • Romanian→Vise de îndrăgostit (single)

Titles in non-Latin alphabets or scripts have the original title followed by romanization in parentheses. The parenthesized word should not be in English. E.g.
 * • Russian→Место под солнцем (Mesto Pod Solntsem)

Titles in non-Latin alphabets or scripts using words foreign to their origin are to be properly written and not romanized. E.g.
 * • Japanese→ハローワールド (Hello World)  not ハローワールド (Harōwārudo)
