There is nothing inbuilt to Arches to support that. As far as Arches is
concerned, the NAME entity type in and of itself is language-agnostic.
However, you might be able to craft a creative solution to meet your need using
NAME_TYPE.E55. You could, in theory, add languages to the NAME_TYPE.E55
dropdown.
I’ll be interested to know what you come up with.
