I'd suggest using the 6 main United Nations languages for the "name=*"
tag of Oceans and Continents: Arabic, Chinese, English, French,
Russian and Spanish.

But there is no perfect solution, and as mentioned, most database
users will want to pick a localized name of the form "name:<iso>=" so
these tags should be added.
