Except that none of these, other than the Chinese examples, are actually
translations of Michael's name into other languages. They are
transcriptions, with a few phonetic changes necessary to accommodate the
target script. None of them (except Chinese) is comparable to
translating "Pierre Desjardins" to "Peter Gardener."
