That's exactly what we do on the locale maps on the toolserver for the 
30+ languages listed there.

This is done for places that do not have a name:ko tag. As an example 
I'd take the place-node of china [1] which does not have a name:ko, so 
the rendering style takes the name-tag. You may want to look at my old 
country translation tool [2] so see which tags need to be checked and 
which tags should be translated.

Be aware that the small zoom levels on the toolserver (0-6) are only 
rerendered once a month (sooner if you /dirty them).

Thank you. It's basically an experiment of getting localized maps into 
the Wikipedia.
