Hi Ivan,

>    --description="OSM_MKD_INT" --name-tag-list="int_name,name:en,name"
>    OSM_MKD.osm

I used that command line but still got upper case letters in the file.
I tries with your row04.trans too.

So I am puzzled at the moment as to what is happening.

Any thoughts about the best way to build this into mkgmap?

Yes that is meant to be what happens.  In fact the lower-case option
currently doesn't even work.
