Hi Ben, Good to hear.
I actually have a version of Carto-CSS which displays welsh names when present. It merely replaces all instances of name in the Carto-CSS queries with a more complicated bit of SQL. For complicated logistical reasons I haven't uploaded this to github, but can put aside some time to do so now. The style also has blue motorways! Less successfully I have been trying to create a welsh name transparent overlay. This would be useful for places like Leicester Liverpool and London which have Welsh names but are outside the principality. A full set of tiles covering the UK for a handful of names is overkill. Apart from styling issues (finding colours and offsets which are legible with the main carto style), the biggest issue is names of areas which are multi-line and of variable size, and therefore more or less impossible to offset so that both the Welsh name & the name on the Carto style are visible.
