I was looking at tidying up a few things around my local area, and came across this: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/52.08855/-1.94195 What you can see there is a building labelled "Evesham Hotel" (which is correct), and, just to the south-west of it, another, unlabelled building. Howe

In case of name where there is a language specific tag, repeating name tag in language specific tag is useful, welcome and a good idea. I even run into a case where it was needed to render map as expected(Polish labels, with fallback to English ones) - I am unable to comment on Wales-specifi
