So what do _you_ think should be in the "name" tag for Algeria then?
If you think there's a simple answer, I'd suggest that you haven't quite got to the nub of the problem yet...

Thus one would need an additional external database to render a proper map! I don't think that this is the way to go in such a simple case. Frankly I don't care that much about the proper name tag itself, but I don't think that there is a single valid argument for tagging an english or french name in addition to the local one if this langage is not common a particular country. The only argument I could think of here ist tagging for the renderer. As I already said, such stuff is making it very difficult to render a proper localized map.
