By the country or regions government, usually. I think there is a misunderstanding going on here. If I speak English, I want and English map of the world. If I speak French, I want a French map of the world. In neither case do I want a map that has England in English and France in French. IMHO, the correct procedure for drawing a map is to: 1. Decide what language your map is in. 2. Look for name:[language]= tags and draw them 3. Look for name= tags where the one for your language doesn't exist. The problem is that the default maps generated by the project (mapnik and osmarender) both get this wrong. They omit step one, and try to pretend that the map can be not in any particular language. AFAIK, there is no English language rendering of OSM. There is a Welsh one, for example here: http://sucs.org/~rollercow/cyosm/ and probably other languages around the place.
