Hi,

City Navigator maps support multiple languages. Street names change, 
when you change language settings in GPS. For example, if you use 
German, then street name is "Waldheimer Weg" but in Italian you see "Via 
Villa del Bosco". I have found this example in South Tyrol–Trentino region.

Not possible with mkgmap but you can add multiple labels to a street and 
all should be included in search index. I think in most cases we could 
put stopwords for 2-3 languages. For case above, we can set both "via" 
and "weg" as stopwords in Italy.
