I believe it's actually debated what language name= should be in, possibly
settling on International English or at least osm.org is inteded to display
international names.

Anyway, I think it's good to encourage lots of different language maps.
Someone already made a version of OSM displaying Welsh names from name:cy
(and falling back on name).

To set up your own render and online-map, there are lots of details from
this page:

If you just want an easy way to set up a very custom map (you'll need to
write all the styles from a very basic style sheet) then look at this
windows program:
