Dividing the problem into two parts helps. The "on OSM.ORG" portion of your question might be the most challenging to solve. Leaving that aside, the toolserver example shows you some of what is possible with Mapnik. Separate layers-per-language is possible. > I saw some discussion about it, but could not understand how to fix it in my > situation. Without understanding your situation, some quick pointers are: Consider using a view to choose the first language for your list of preferred languages, and render that one. There is guidance for this on the wiki[1], and Avar shows us how this is done on toolserver[2] Consider using a view to assemble a compound name from your list of preferred languages and render that combination. Something like " Language / Another Language (Yet Another Language) " is possible, though you may find more rendering collisions than you like given the longer names. Also consider using Mapnik2, which supports using stylesheets per bounding polygon. So each region of a regionalized map may have a different style, including language, road colours and even highway shields if that is how you roll.
