Aside of your question: you should use : instead of . to separate language tokens from "normal" tagnames.
And AFAIK it's not a good idea to translate every value like you do it here.
The translations/languages should only apply to names, not on "classes".
If your Application wants to use different languages than English, it should use a dictionary for that at client side.

Hi

I would like to tag areas with apartment buildings, and small houses
for a  single family differently, at the moment I tag all of them with
  landuse=residential. I need good terminology in english to tag them.

This is from swedish wikipedia:
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flerfamiljhus#Typer_av_flerbostadshus
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sm%C3%A5hus

So that would be something like:
landuse=residential
residential.en=[ apartmentbuildings | villas | small houses | vacation
houses | farmbuildings]
residential.sv=[ flerbostadshus | villområde | småhus | fritidshus |
radhus | miljonprogram] etc.
