Sorry to insist but you will undermine, especially, Welsh names, for a
generic rendering that uses "name" tags. Think about that.
Can you give a specific example of that? Are you saying that "it's
important to pretend that Welsh names are displayed even where they
aren't used very often" by sticking them on the end of the more commonly
used name? The other way around (using Welsh in "name" because it is
the most used name) presumably wouldn't "undermine ... Welsh names". It
could be that I'm completely misunderstanding what you're saying here
but I really don't follow the argument at all.
Of course, for me, it's a must to fill "name:cy" and "name:en" too.
That's great news - it'll allow maps like https://openstreetmap.cymru/
(and mine!) to render appropriate names in appropriate areas.

* The fundamental problem is that there is no "name" which
is correct. In the medium term, as long as the name:cy and
name:en are correct then the value of "name" should become
less significant. Then it can be up to the user to decide
if they want to display English, Welsh or both (and if
both which language taking priority).
The problem currently, is that display choice isn't available.
I don't think that that's actually true - I can think of at least 3
choices right now:
* OSM "Standard map" (and a number of others), which just use the
"name" tag:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/51.88362/-5.26565
* Openstreetmap.cymru, which uses "name:cy":
https://openstreetmap.cymru?h=51.88397494833407&ll=-5.264972448348999&ch=17
* Mine, that show one of "name:cy", "name:en", "name:ga" or "name"
depending on location:
http://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=18&lat=51.883531&lon=-5.264898
and of course anyone making their own maps (Garmin etc.) can do whatever
they want.

PS: Apologies to Curon if his message wasn't meant for the list - I'm
guessing that it was but that he's actually not subscribed yet and his
reply went both to that and Miguel.
