Is it possible to include alternative show names in the show info? For example, if I have an episode of Parasyte to hand and search for "parasyte":
http://api.tvmaze.com/singlesearch/shows?q=parasyt...
This displays only the Japanese name "Kiseijuu", which is fine. But I'd like to programatically verify that the search has returned the series I'm actually looking for, so would like to be able to check through the AKAs at this point (which in this case includes "Parasyte -The Maxim-").
This makes sense.
Though I don't think the AKA's should be added to the main show info (as in at http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/1964). AKA's can also be used to list the foreign translations for a regular English show, which would be irrelevant information to 99% of the API users.
I could add them as a separate endpoint (shows/:id/akas) and allow embedding instead.

I agree adding foreign AKAs for English shows in the API wouldn't make sense, but how about an AKA in the show's native language for foreign shows?

Great, thanks!
