The solution is a cleverly written SQL statement in the mapnik config
file, you need to add 2 extra columns to postgres table, name:ru and
name:en and then in the SQL query you check if name:ru exists and then
use it, otherwise check for name:en and use it otherwise use whatever
is in the name column.

However I haven't actually gotten round to trying to write a suitable
query to do that but I've thought about doing something similar.
