Update:

I added CSV & GPX export and highlights for identical translations (when 
the name:xx-Tag is identical to the name-Tag).

Also I added delete-support to the update-routine so that it should 
delete translations that are no longer in the osm-database. It should 
also delete nodes that are no longer flagged as place=country.

I didn't have the time for intensive testing, so if you encounter any 
unexpected behavior, please just report this here.

Each hour, right before the update, i create an sql-dump, so restoring 
the ok-states should be not too much trouble.
