Have You read about new old naming? An I mean not old like russian and
new like ukrainian, I mean it regardless the language.
If I understand You correct - it is desirable to go through all exUSSR
countries and change every object name tag to whatever is mentioned on
signs?
If they are currently NOT showing what is on the sign then YES, and in my book
that is not even up for discussion!
If I can't photograph what appears on the base map ... it's wrong, and should be
tagged as that so it can be fixed ...
If there IS no sign, then it's obviously a matter for argument what is used, and
it that case I'd prefer not to render anything since that is the case on the
ground. Translated options for names can then be freely used for translated maps.
