Or Ireland, which has the Irish (name:ga) and English names on all signs. I found a road today (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/3789374) that has 2 signs across the road from each other, both have the same English name ("Chancery Place"), but each has a different Irish name ("Plás Seansaire" vs "Plás na Seansaireachta"). I had to make an educated guess based on how new each sign was. Rory
