To render a German map there are two possibilities:
1. render "name:de" if it exists, "name" otherwise
2. render "name" if its identical to "name:de", "name (name:de)" otherwise

"name" does hereby refer to the local name ((how do the people that live 
there call their country).

This works for all the places that have only one local name. 1. is waht 
we currently render on the TS and it would be easy to set up 2., but it 
would not look nice because the "name" tag sometimes already contains 
brackets.
