Perhaps the database vendors could make it prominent that the article is international.  I know the problem that my patrons have (and staff as well) is the MLA and EBSCO translate the information into English.  Maybe bold flashing neon colors that would quickly let us know that yes indeed, this is a international publication and not just run of the mill easily accessible English title. 
 
 
 
This an excellent idea.  Here's my revision of a typical MLA citation:
 

Title: [The Taming of the Shrew: A Reading as a Text of Comedy]

Author(s):  Kong, Sung-Uk <javascript:__doLinkPostBack('detail','ss%257E%257EAU%2520%252522Kong%25252c%2520Sung%252DUk%252522%257C%257Csl%257E%257Erl','');> 

Source:  Medieval and Early Modern English Studies <javascript:__doLinkPostBack('detail','ss%257E%257EJN%2520%252522Medieval%2520and%2520Early%2520Modern%2520English%2520Studies%252522%257C%257Csl%257E%257Erl','');>  (MES) 2007 Aug; 15 (2): 419-41.

Notes:  In Korean

THIS ARTICLE IS NOT IN ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!
 
Unfortunately we do this sort of thing with our book bands (DO NOT REMOVE BOOK BAND!!!!) and it doesn't work.
