Can you describe in more detail what you tried to do?
I have l10n stuff in our german mapnik style (the one used at
http://openstreetmap.de/karte.html) which can be also used for
any other languages using latin script (french, spanish, ..)
You will basically need the following:
* separate colums in database for int_name, name:en, name:
or hstore (which is what I recomend).
* replacement of all "select name" by "select
yourfunc(name,int_name,name:en,name:) as name"
* PL/pgSQL function from
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik-german/views/get_localized_name.sql
* optional Transliteration code is here:
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/rendering/mapnik-german/utf8translit/
Our get_localized_name function can be used for any language using latin
script. If you e.g. want to prefer spanish use it like this:
get_germanified_name(name,"name:es",int_name,"name:en") as name
"name:en" is used as an alterative to "int_name" in case "name" is not latin
script.
Known issues with transliteration currently are:
* Thai Language uses ISO 11940 rather than RTGS
* Kanji Transliteration produces chinese rather than japanese

P.S.: Minimal (sorry) documentation of the i10n stuff is here:
