There is also official_name. They are not being used consistently, but I
guess that a step to the right direction would be if you added all of
the following labels:
official_name
short_naem
name (equal to official_name, I guess)
and possibly also suffixed with :de, :en, whatever, as appropriate.
If you add :lang variants, make sure that the label without the : suffix
is equal to one of the language variants. In this way, you do not need
to apply any black magic to determine which language a label is in. (In
Finland, some mappers omit name:fi or name:sv and only use name,name:fi
or name,name:sv instead of name,name:sv,name:fi because it is "obvious"
which language the name is in.)

I think that augmenting the data is the right approach.
