Hi Shrini Before getting in to any of the details my first question would be: why are you "translating" to Tamil, shouldn't the objects in question already have a name (as in a name used by the local population in Tamil) that can simply be used in OSM? Or is this more a question of using the relevant script?
The other fundamental thing that needs to be clarified is what does the local community want to do with the name Tag, iirc there seems to be some consensus to use Latin script and English names in India in general, would you want to replace them with the Tamil name and move the current named to name:en or perhaps int_name?
