I should add that I don't remember seeing them either, until I heard from some scholars who work in multiple languages.

I then talked to my colleague -- whose area speciality is China -- and he showed me similar examples in Cyrillic and Mandarin (IIRC). In cases where one is working across scripts, in particular, both forms are typically output. I assume even in the same script that it's common to include original and translated titles (though MODS already has this case covered). Bruce
