This is a follow-up to my post of about 7 hours ago.
I suddenly realized that there are *many* people who use different names
depending on the language, country, or culture they are in.
In Megilas Ester: Hebrew: Hadassah, Persian: Esther
In the gospels: Hebrew: Shaul, Latin: Paul
At this keyboard: Hebrew: Akiva, English: Kenneth
But my question still stands: Do we see this anywhere in Onkelos?

Moshe Rabenu had ten names, but I'm not sure that they were differentiated
by language; they might have been titles or nicknames, and not relevant to
this thread. That's certainly true of Hoshea/Yehoshua, Yaakov/Yisrael, and
probably many others.
