All 279 languages are now up, note that clicking on any of those will very likely yield a blank page when you first try it since it'll have to render the world at zoom 2 for that language (unless someone had it rendered already):

But some of them are already up:
I came across some encoding problems on the german map: http://tinyurl.com/ngu965
they seem to be better on the english one: http://tinyurl.com/msqlea
but in comparison to the official osm-page they are missing localized names: http://tinyurl.com/mwd64c
i also saw some not-translated country-names. e.g. on http://tinyurl.com/m6rhc5 "Democratic Republic of the Congo" should read "Demokratische Republik Kongo", also "Central African Republic" should be "Zentralafrikanische Republik".
Sorry I missed this E-Mail 6 days ago.
All the issues you point out can be explained by what tags the OSM data contains and how the translation views for the i18n map work.
When I render the German map I'm checking if a "name:de" key exists for the given feature, if it does I use that, if not I fall back on "name".
Here's one of the towns in your first examples:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/245765070
As you can see it has name:en but no name:de
Okay, it seems, that in Zoomlevel 7 everything is ok (http://cassini.toolserver.org/tiles/osm-like/de/7/92/53.png) but in Level 6 the special characters are still missing: http://cassini.toolserver.org/tiles/osm-like/de/6/46/26.png
Those both look the same to me, i.e. the Hindi characters appear just fine. All the tiles currently on the server are also rendered after I installed unifont fonts so all the asian languages should appear correctly.
And the reason you see "Democratic Republic of the Congo" but not "Demokratische Republik Kongo" is because that country node has no name:de tag:
Hey, cool! I didn't know editing country-names is as easy as editing other POIs. So I'll go ahead and add the German names to where it seems necessary.
Yay, but for the moment they won't appear on the i18n map since we're not updating automatically from the planet dumps, yet.
