Is there anyway to export an openstreetmap that has a english name tag to OSM with the english names on things ? My problem is that I can find a map on openstreetmap for Jerusalem and I can see that there exists english street tags but when I export the map to OSM and use in other tools like Tilemill all the street names are written in the default language Hebrew, how do I get the names in english ?

Most exports/extracts will always contain all elements and tags. So it is very likely that your export already contains the english names (tagged with name:en) but the software isn't using them but the regular name tag instead.

Have you looked into the exported file in order to verify if it contains elements tagged with name:en?
