Well, I'm going to a complete clean up/rewrite of the description from the crowner.
Still the best 71

Can we close this now since the issue's apparently been solved? 
Has the work been done? No one ever responded to my suggestion, and there's no update to the sandbox idea.
Given the (unchanged) number of wicks, I don't think anything has happened here.

Bump.
IINM, a course of action was decided upon. All that's left is to act upon it.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
Should those who are actually Bilingual be spun off on a different trope? Most come at a surprise or it is a sign of intelligence, IE 'I am fluent in over six million forms of communication' and such.

I think 'improbable language knowledge' is already a trope: Omniglot.
That is just the extreme version, even 1 extra language can be used to show intelligence in a work, usually it comes as a surprise or a put up or shut up kind of situation.

Bump. I think we still need to make this a Super-Trope and YKTTW subtropes.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
Wow this thread is still around?
Opinions on ? In many works even showing a character knows even 1 more language it is seen as a sign of intelligence. In anime it would be English if the user is a native Japanese person.

What does that have to do with Bilingual Bonus as a trope?
Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.
Quite a bit of the misuse is that.

"A character is bilingual" has nothing to do with this trope and should just be nuked as misuse.
Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.
But shouldn't it be split off in another trope though?
It's just going to come back and being Bilingual alone is very important in a lot of works that do not exist in areas where that kind of thing is normal or areas where it is expected but no one is ever fluent in it but the genius ones in media.

The Unknown
Crowner already said no to that.
I think there's a trope with "character is bilingual or multilingual to show that they are intelligent" (possibly a Sister Trope to Omniglot), but bilingualism by itself doesn't sound like a trope to me.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
So what still needs to be done here?

Crown Description:
What would be the best way to fix the page?
Here's the start of a suggested rewrite of the description:
One way to hide an Easter Egg in plain sight is to cloak it in a foreign language. That way, bilingual and international audiences get extra information or a special treat from their knowledge.
The extra can be anything from a plot-relevant point to additional dialogue (often used to demonstrate that they've Shown Their Work with the language) to a random gag.
[Compare/contrast section?]
A Bilingual Bonus using names falls under Meaningful Name. Creators and actors who know a foreign language... is Not A Trope.
