<p>In this case I think the "alt_name:ru" tag solution could be a
very good solution (<i>but I leave this to our Russian friend to
decide...</i>), but why do you see that preferable to the
water:ru=озеро solution?<span style="font-family:monospace"><br>

<p>I understand your concerns and tend to agree,
but how would you manage the situation where a
Russian want to name the lake as it is known in
his language, just "Байкал" (<i>assuming this is
the case...</i>), but also wanting to find it
with the "<tt>озеро</tt>" (lake) keyword?<br>
