the general solution is to put into

- "name" all "official" names (or common versions of official names
and then in official_name the real official name), separated by "/",
see Belgium for example
- "name:language-code" the name in a given language

The on-the-ground-rule applies (invented because of the Cyprus case):

in cases where previous edit wars and unclear or partially unaccepted
situations created problems we sometimes also omitted the "name" tag
completely in the past (relying only on name:lang-code) (I think
Jerusalem is an example for this)

cheers,
Martin
