The Save Block has a different letter in the Dutch and Spanish translations. They have an "O" (opslaan) and a "G" (guardar) respectively, both meaning "to save". This is the same as in the Spanish translations of Paper Mario and Paper Mario: Sticker Star and in the Dutch and Spanish translations of Paper Mario: Color Splash and Paper Mario: The Origami King.
By changing the system language to Dutch or Spanish (both American and European) and then opening the game, one can see that the letter on the Save Block is different. This is best seen if the game is loaded from a regular save rather than an autosave (assuming that a save has been made before).

For reference, that rule also applies to sites like Wikipedia though for them, an actual source is usually linked which makes it much easier to deal with - you can use Wikipedia to do your research and then just link to the source they link to, assuming it matches up. TCRF is 100% fine but more an exception to the rule as it's still user-editable but as you said, with much better quality control.

Yeah, that looks good.
Also, just to correct my earlier remark, the rule was specifically against fan wikis; the Cutting Room Floor is permitted as a source because it tends to have stronger quality control. I mention it because I and others have cited TCRF plenty of times in the past, and because it includes documentation of regional differences between games (though the Super Mario RPG remake doesn't have a page there yet).

I was aware of that rule, but even with different Google queries I found different sources hard to find, so I inserted this as it was the best I could find.
After looking through some more sources that were used for other trivia, are YouTube videos containing gameplay in those languages valid sources instead?
EDIT: I've found videos from Nintendo's official YouTube channels in Dutch and Spanish containing the localized save blocks. I will be adding those to the sources, though I will keep the MarioWiki reference because it is where I got the Spanish translation for "to save" from.

IIRC wiki sites aren't recommended as sources because of their malleable nature. Would be ideal to find more reliable sources if possible.
