You might just try osmand as well. You can set the language to be
displayed and if the item isn't tagged in Tamil it will display the
English tag.
Using JOSM you can select assets with and without values. So you can
find those places with just an English name. Create a second layer,
download a one inch square with nothing in it then copy the places you
need to add names to the second layer and save the file.
Now you have an xml file that you can play with certainly as far as
seeing which places need extra name tags in.

We need a similar map in Tamil Language.
You probably don't need to translate anything. What you see on one
OSM-based map is only a tiny subset of the data in OSM. Here, for
example, is the information stored against one place in that area:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5359556781
You'll notice that the "name:ta" contains the placename that you want
to display here.
What you probably want to do is to create a map using a similar map
style to the standard one at openstreetmap.org (or a different one,
if you prefer) but displaying Tamil names on it. It's actually pretty
simple to do this; as just one example
https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html displays names in one
of three languages depending on in what area the name actually is.
See https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SomeoneElse/diary/42069 for how
I did this, but what you want to do (always display Tamil names in
preference to the default ones) is actually much simpler.
Those instructions apply to maps created using the same technology as
was used to generate the tiles you see at openstreetmap.org (see also
https://switch2osm.org/manually-building-a-tile-server-18-04-lts/ ).
Other options are available, but in each case they'll be able to make
use of the extra fields in the OSM data that you won't see by default
at openstreetmap.org.

Andy
