So how can you determine the preferred name from looking at that sign ?
From looking at the sign, you can't - but if you visit a place and open your eyes and ears it'll become pretty obvious. If you walk into a shop or a post office in the pointy bits of north Wales I can pretty much guarantee that people will be speaking Welsh. It would be unfair and unrepresentative to suggest that English has equivalence where that is the case. Signs - particularly road signs - appear in two languages throughout, but that doesn't mean that in a particular area both languages are in equal usage.
What you can't expect to do is jump in with a "global search and replace" such as https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/50943658 using level0 and not get complaints.
