I think you are confusing name:de (name in German languare) with
name:DE (name in Germany).

Tags with country namespace are for instance: "school:FR" (for a
schooltype according to the system in France, note that the school
does not necessarily have to be in France, it should be a school type
according to the system in France, but could also be a french school
abroad). You could tag a ref:UK in France if the UK had their own
system for these features outside the UK.
