As an inhabitant of one the countries mentioned with multiple official languages may I quickly chip in: our previous solution was to simply leave the name tag empty given that stuffing the 4 official language variants in to the name tags was rather unwieldy and even so none of them are actually the countries real official name (see http://official-name-abbreviations-meaning.all-about-switzerland.info/) .
This proved impossible to maintain due to fiddling mappers living in a neighbour country to the north, so to get a bit of peace and quiet (we would have been quite happy with using English on the standard rendering), we opted for the current ungainly solution. The real simple solution would be to provide a tag with a list of the countries official languages and then allow the renderer to choose from them in the cases when you want a non-translated name value (and as said leave the name tag empty).
