Comment from SomeoneElse
Hello,
You've changed the DE and EN names here from versions of the Ossetian names to versions of the Georgian names. Leaving aside the politics, what's the most spoken language on the ground here? Given the location I'd have expected Ossetian rather than Georgian?
Best Regards,
Andy -

What means Ossetian version of German name or Ossetian version of English name? Ossetians are free to call places in Ossetian language but it's a nonsense that other languages also have to call them in Ossetian.
DE and EN names show how German or English speakers could call a place not how locals call it. -

Not "Ossetian version of German name" but "German version of Ossetian name" (as opposed to "German version of Georgian name").
I'm sure that there's no doubt what the name:ka and name:os versions are, but what is the source of name:de or name:en? If it's just a transliteration of a name:ka or name:os name it probably doesn't belong in OSM at all. -

So what you say (German version of Ossetian name) is wrong very wrong, if you check old Soviet topographic maps you will see that those names are international. Ossetians renamed everything only after the wars in 90s or in 2008. Main names of the settlements show Ossetian names because they are used on the ground. But the Germans or the English have their own naming and they must not repeat Ossetian ones. Germans call Tbilisi as Tiflis not as Georgian "Tbilisi" the same case is here.
