After reading End of Ame Agaru question, i edited it to mention the English title of the film in question body but i got confused in creating Tag, I mean what tag should be name ame-agaru or after-the-rain. For now Christian Rau has created after-the-rain tag and user has requested tag synonym in comments.
But i still want to know what tag should be named for this kind of movies? and What should be done for this kind of questions?

If these are indeed the same movie, the solution would be to decide what the "primary" tag should be and then create synonyms for the other movie names to that tag.
I would think that choosing which tag gets precedence is going to be something that changes depending on the type of movie. Use these examples;
In the instance of a movie that was created multiple times (for example "The Ring" and "Ringu"), one with the original cast and one with an American cast in English - in this this instance I would choose the version of the movie that was most successful as the "primary" movie and create the other versions as synonyms,
In the instance of a movie that was filmed once and then dubbed over in multiple different languages, with movie titles in different languages for the different releases, I would suggest using the original name as the "primary" name with the other names as the synonyms.
I recommend that, because our site is an English-based site, all title tags should be the English version of the title and that the original title from the non-English film should be added as a synonym to allow users to choose either tag.
So, in the recent example of the French film La French (US title The Connection) two tags were created the primary tag is the-connection and the synonym was created for la-french.
In the case that the American title is still in (or was always in) a foreign language, the title should be maintained... So Chocolat, the American film would have the tag chocolat.
This occurs often with Indian films. Even when brought to the US and screened, the Hindi title is generally still better known and often the "official" title used on the English Wikipedia. Examples of this include films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Wikipedia offers the title "Something Happens" but the film was marketed in the US under the original title.
This will require a little bit of work on our part (creating synonyms, determining which title was used when released in the US) but should make the tags more useful and more representative of our English focus.
