 I was fixing some stuff with http://keepright.at/ when I found an error
 showing a wrong spelling vending=newspapers and the right tag was
 vending=news_papers. Which confused me, because I was pretty sure that's
 the spelling I learned in English class and google also confirmed that.
 Checking with taginfo and the German wiki that's actually what it states
 and what is used, the spelling was only corrected in the English Wiki.

 So what now? News papers just seems completely wrong. I guess a mass
 edit is not really possible in OSM.

You are right.  The correct word is newspapers.  keepright is wrong and 
ought to be fixed.

Best wishes,

Andrew

The help pages for some keys such as 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:shop have a template for the list 
of values that is shared between languages so that updating the page in 
one language updates all of them.

This is somehwere that Wikidata can help. For example, the entry for
newspaper:

  https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11032

has a label list with entries in several tens of languages, e.g.
Premsa in Catalan and krant in Dutch, plus several in languages
that use non-western alphabets.
