OK - so it doesn't use Wikipedia data for anything except a list of language
codes.

That's really cool, I think localized maps are an important benefit of OSM.

Could the tool be extended to support names of cities?  For these, a percentage
completion indicator makes little sense, since most city names are not
translated, but there are still a hundred or so worldwide which do have their own
name in most major languages.
