Frederik, there are over 7000 languages on the planet - we could either
support them all (best case), or make a small subset (e.g. ~10 primary
ones).

Ideally, when generating tiles, we would want to store all languages in a
single tile - this way we can decide what language(s) to use at the very
last moment - when rendering the tile, possibly even on the client (webgl).
Since most places have very few different names, this will be a tiny vtile
size increase, but will be a massive help with making maps multilingual.
