Please change the character name to the local language specified by the PLEX Media Server user.
TMDB already displays the character name in each language through the Translations function.
PLEX Media Server also displays the character name in the language specified by the server administrator if there is one. If there is no language, display it in English.

There’s a feature suggestion thread discussing this.

Support for translated versions of actor/cast names and biographies

Since TMDB now supports translation features for actor/cast names and biographies, Plex should have a way to retrieve the translated versions of names and biographies based on the user’s language settings. If translated data exists, it should be fetched; otherwise, it could default to English. We hope that Plex can add multilingual support for actor/cast information, including filmography titles in the credit page.

[edit: Sorry, just noticed you’re not asking for the person‘s name to be displayed but a localized version of role names. I like this but haven’t seen metadata sources offering localized versions of role names… which tends to make sense if roles have actual names which usually don’t change when dubbed; but there’s also descriptive role names like „Police Officer 12“ which could be translated]
