I described it in the original post.

"Many people are interested in mapping zoo detail, especially where given animalhas an enclosure

It would be desirable to render it on many maps, likely also general purpose maps(as in zoo areas in high zooms it is among the most important info)."

No, because rendering what kind of animal is in a given enclosure is standard and 
desirable (to the point of having many kind of tagging for renderer to achieve this),
while rendering surface names is highly unusual.

Also, we have separate values for surface and low number of them, while animal
species is freeform and much longer list.

Is there working and accepted system of selecting languages to be displayed that
is not a massive headache?
