To know what the default language is used in the tag "name" is a common issue about default meanings related to a tag. Look the following wiki pages about default maxspeed or default access restrictions per country or region:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Maxspeed http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access-Restrictions By defining such clear documentation, we don't have to add millions of maxspeed tags or foot=yes/no, bicycle=yes/no, hgv=yes/no in all highways... or language=iso_code to millions of elements. Thus we should be able to specify the default language used in "name" either in a similar wiki page or maybe in a boundary relation. But please, don't ask me to type two tags each time I enter a name.
