This is just a collaboration effort just for kicks to see how Corpse Party and it's cast of characters are written in different languages.
Please feel free to contribute to this list!

Uh... I can offer a Russian version.
But we have a several variants of writing.

e.g.
Mochida Satoshi
Сатоши
Сатоси
Сатощи
Мочида
Мотида
In my translation of the game, I use this option:
Мочида Сатощи
Well, because I so hear the pronunciation.

The list of names in Russian, which I use in CPBC (... RF)

(Note: Tagalog uses the english alphabet, in writing)

party in filipino has many variants and almost all of them will have different meanings in english

for example, "Pagtitipon ng mga bangkay"
It can be translated as Corpse Party and also gathering of the corpses

the nearest one should be "Salu-Salo ng mga bangkay" (Lit: Dinner Party of Corpses)

the rest is easy to translate

Like i said earlier, Since Tagalog is also using the english alphabet...names of people should be the same as the english, written and pronounced

Yeah, I can understand that the "party" part of Corpse Party may confuse people as to how it should be translated. Especially in other languages where they have different terms for both a "gathering of people" and a "social celebration"; It cannot be as synonymous as it is shown in the English and Japanese language.

I personally see it that it should be translated as a "gathering of people" as shown below:

dictionary.com
 
a group gathered for a special purpose or task: a fishing party; a search party.
