Your software should know about both names (so that you can search for
either) and show you the local name (so that you can compare to
streetsigns) in addition to the name in a language of your choosing
(so that you know what you're doing).

And yes, I see the combination of "name" and a long list of "name:CC"
as a good backend for that requirement.
