Is there any way to implement the following localization strategy:<br>
1. display russian (russian is just for example) name if it exists<br>
2. display english name if russian name doesn't exists<br>
3. display local name otherwise<br>
<br>
The problem for me is to determine which language is used for some
region by default. I have found <a moz-do-not-send="true"

discussion</a> but without solution. <br>

There's currently no way to determine what language the "name"-tag is
in.<br>
<br>
Your question doesn't seem to be a tagging one though, because as I
understand you want to have different rendered outputs, correct?<br>
Like John Smith explained this has to be done with some clever JOIN SQL
statements.<br>
<br>
Some further readings here [1] and an example of a rendering of the
world map in different languages here [2].<br>
