In Galicia, I use to edit the name tag (galician), name:gl (galician) and name:xx for other languages. If I write only one (that is what I do most of the times), I just write the galician one in the name tag.
The question is: if you don't put the name tag, what language does the renderer (mapnik or whatever) choose for the rendering? I think you need to put the name tag whatsoever.
