Now there is a good trend to use colon in key names. Maybe we should
move these tags below?

int_name ->  name:international
nat_name ->  name:national
reg_name ->  name:regional
loc_name ->  name:local
old_name ->  name:old
alt_name ->  name:alt or name:alternative
official_name ->  name:official

But then we can have structures like that: name:official:de/ru/etc.

What do you think about it?

But how do you know whether the part after the colon is a language code or a type of name?
eg "alt" is the ISO 639-2 code for Southern Altai.
This will make things more complicated for data processors, eg how do you just extract all names that have a name in more than one language?
