It's always a bit of an arbitrary choice whether to put a wrapper element around a repeating singleton element. In this case I don't think I would - because the operation you want to perform on the set of titles is to select one of them, rather than to aggregate them as a group; and because I don't want to use a wrapper element in the common case where there's only one language, as in your "description" element.
