Maybe I'm getting hold of the wrong end of the stick here, but that 
won't change the language used to create the map tiles at any of the 
maps at openstreetmap.org .

You can also change the _website_ language using "locale" as part of the 
URL, so:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/917824441?locale=DE#map=15/53.3243/-6.2309

shows things like "Weg" instead of "Way".  Using:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/917824441?locale=GA#map=15/53.3243/-6.2309

does show "Way: Bóthar Anglesea (917824441)" at the top left, but still 
"Anglesea Road" on all the map tiles.  The website doesn't appear to 
have much translated into GA so it still says "Way:".

As an aside, 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/917824441?locale=GD#map=15/53.3243/-6.2309 
seems to show more site text translated than "GA" does.

If you want to show map tiles with GA names you (or someone) will need 
to create them.
