That's not a particularly good example, as Caernarfon is the Welsh name.
The English name is Caernarvon. But in this case, nobody, not even the
English, uses the English name any more. The English version though, is
found in a lot of historical documentation. So including it somewhere is
probably appropriate.
I'm not sure, though, that name:en would be the right tag, as that
implies that it's a name in current use. Do we have a way of tagging
historic or archaic names? If so, then I'd use that for Caernarvon.
