I’m not a native German speaker obviously, but doesn’t “Das Kapital” translate to “THE Capital”?
Also, English-speakers should call it just “Capital”. Calling it “Das Kapital” is just propaganda to make the title sound more menacing than it is.

It's called "The Capital" in other languages, "Kapitalet" in Swedish. Capital would just be "Kapital".
I think languages that don't really go article crazy like the Germans just call it Capital. In Japanese, it's 資本論. It's probably something similar in Chinese.
Chinese doesn't really have definite articles
