So, every eg. city-shape-vector (well.. polygon) will cary the metadata/text of the name of that city in every defined language?

The tile schema being used for the current testing (shortbread) doesn't support many languages, but they I think those working on this want to support them once the bugs are worked out.

For an example of how this might look see e.g. https://americanamap.org which uses OSM data, but doesn't aim to be near live like the tiles this thread is about.
