Thanks James and John for the info.
We are running our own Mapnik rendering server and I will look into the options
for displaying specific languages as labels. I will also look into adding the
alternate language tags with help from the Arctic Institute.

contribute and share their local mapping data.

It can just be that the person mapping didnt follow the standards for Canada

The name tag should be the native name. (Could be French, English or
Indigenous languages)
name:en the english translation
name:fr the french translation

Within the map there is provision for different language names. Different

In general the English version will be found following the convention of
the Arctic Institute. However it is possible to tag name:en name:fr etc.
