I have no objection to users tagging in their local language. I also have
no objection to those users also using tags in a language that has been
agreed upon for use in an international context, or to others subsequently
adding tags for other languages. Do you feel that maps for any given area
should only be available to those fluent in the local language or languages?

I see no reason why different 'cultures' cannot completely ignore
'standard' carto and tags and just do their own thing. If I was looking on
Japanese OSM for a restaurant, I'd expect to not find a single one. If I
was looking for レストラン then I'd expect to find many.
