Yes, you can provide multiple InventionTitle elements in different languages for your patent application. The MPEP 2413.01(i) states:

“It is possible for an applicant to provide more than one InventionTitle element of the general information part in more than one language.”

However, it’s important to note that for international applications where the USPTO is the Receiving Office, at least one InventionTitle element must be in English.
