Comment from indigomc
Sorry, what's that about on the ground evidence, trigpoint? Presumably this relates to Leicester. The names are added so that a map can be created written in another language. What evidence do you need to write it in another script? They are just a transcription of the spoken name.

Comment from SomeoneElse
Ethnologue (http://www.ethnologue.com/world) says that there are > 7000 languages in the world. Taginfo (http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=name) says that there are 44,000,000 names in OSM. Clearly it makes no sense to have every name translated or "soundalike transliterated" into 7,000 other languages - OSM would soon become nothing more than a list of translations. Some places (e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/50046) really do have names that are different languages; some do not. If you've just converted the "sound" of a word in one language to the same sound in another language, it's not worth storing it in OSM - do the translation externally and store it in your rendering (or whatever) database downstream from OSM.
