Is it possible to use two names for a person in schema.org?

Question

I'm using schema.org in my website.

When I want to name a person there is no problem, but I have to give that two names (one in English global language and another in local language).

Is it possible? If so, how?

Example in Microdata:

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
  <div itemprop="name">John</div>
  <div itemprop="name">Johannes</div>
</div>

(Note that there is also the alternateName property.)

You may want to use the lang attribute to specify the language.

Great. I'll use it. But could you write an example with language attribute? – Amirreza Nasiri Jan 26 '14 at 16:40

@AmirrezaNasiri: Simply add the `lang` attribute to the element containing the name, e.g.: `
John
` (if "John" would be in English). Note that this has nothing to do with Microdata or schema.org, that’s plain HTML. – unor Jan 26 '14 at 16:41

How about using either the "givenName" or "alternateName" property?
