I noticed that all the names on the map are in the language of their
location (Chinese cities are in Chinese, etc). I just found this link
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Regionalisedmap that talks about
localizing the maps for a particular area. Two questions I have:
1 – Where can I find a list of the possible name:* tag values?
The OSM standard is to use the ISO 639-1 code (2 letters) for a
language, or the ISO 639-2 code (3 letters) if an ISO 639-1 code doesn't
exist.
You can get a list of these codes here:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php
or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes
Though not all of these codes will actually be used in OSM anywhere.
This page has details of languages in use for some countries:

2 – Is there any way to do this after osm2pgsql has been run?
No, I don't think so. When you run osm2pgsql it only imports what is
specified in the default.style file, all others keys are discarded.
