So, for me, the ideal situation is this: the map allows you to select a language preference. If I'm looking at a map of China and I select English, the english name should display if available, but if not, then the default Chinese name should appear. Applying this to your comment about Germany, the map would appear initially in German. If you selected Tagalog, any place names with a tagalog translation would display, but otherwise the name would appear in German. This would allow people to flip between several languages as they desired. Places with vastly different alphabets (Thailand, China, Russia etc) would definitely benefit from this arrangement.
