Of course this is impractical in the UI in the current way of selecting
layers (where each layer has its own check box to enable it), I was more
thinking in the line of having a dropdown box for all language overlays.
No idea if this is currently possible in openlayers.

1000 - 7000 extra layers? That's give or take the number of languages
in existence... depending on who you ask, but even adding 500 extra
layers is not a practical endeavour.

I think Latin as default is disrespectful to areas like Japan which
might not be able to read Latin letters as they have kana for
non-japanese words. It's a bit biased to ask if Latin should be the
default on a Latin based list(letters not language).I'm sure there
would be a different opinion if you asked on talk-jp or any other
list(non-latin)
Ideally it should be a layer per language: English everywhere,
Japanese everywhere, Arabic everywhere, etc etc

Why not use the Latin language itself for an additional label to
non-Latin alphabet titles? It is readily available in Google
translator and also in Wikipedia. Here are these titles in Latin:
