Hello Miguel and welcome to Wales. Thank you for your work in improving data in Wales. You have raised a subject which needs attention but we don't have an active community in Wales, just individual mappers and I believe that opinions from England aren't enough. I think you should just continue with your approach. We need to find a solution to this problem. How do you do it for names in regions of Spain with local languages? The UK OSM chapter has a project for a map rendered with Welsh names, but it is stalled because we don't currently have a resource.
