I ask because someone added a name:vi tag for Orange County, Florida: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/389011 As far as I know, there is no large Vietnamese population here and no other reason why someone would want to know the literal translation of Orange County into Vietnamese.
I think its fine to add other language names for things if you have a reliable source for it (under a suitable licence). So if its signposted somewhere, or if its on a list from the official language agency, or from an official published map (with permission to use it) etc.
And preferably a source specific to that place. Two places might have the same name in English, but different names in another language.
I'm not convinced that Wikipedia is a reliable source for other language names.
