yes, as long as there is a translation of a city-name (or other
feature, think about "colosseo", "Kolosseum", etc.) different to the
name in the local language, we should add the tags in these languages.
There is probably also different alt_names for the same feature in
different languages (e.g. "flavisches Amphitheater")

cheers,
