So if someone were using a french client I want to take "Cadwell's Hovel" or "Cadwells Heim^Ng,in" and return "cahute de Cadwell^fd".

EDIT: I think the function wasn't working for all languages, so I have to changed it to use index:

local mapNames = {
   ["en"] = {
      "Alik'r Desert",
      "Auridon",
   }
   ["de"] = {
      "Alik'r-Wüste^N,in",
      "Auridon^N,in",
   ["fr"] = {
      "désert d'Alik'r^md",
      "Auridia^F",
   }
}
 
local language = GetCVar("language.2")
local langlist = { "en", "de", "fr" }
 
function TranslateName(name)
   for _, lang in ipairs(langlist) do
      for i, localizedName in ipairs(mapNames[lang])
         if name == localizedName then
            return mapNames[language][i]
         end
      end
   end
   return name
end

If you want faster translation, you have to use two tables:

Harvest.mapSystem = {
   ["alikr/alikr_base"] = {"Alik'r Desert", "Alik'r-Wüste^N,in", "désert d'Alik'r^md"},
   ["auridon/auridon_base"] = {"Auridon", "Auridon^N,in", "Auridia^F"},
   ["bangkorai/bangkorai_base"] = {"Bangkorai", "Bangkorai^N,in", "Bangkoraï^F"},
   ["coldharbor/coldharbour_base"] = {"Coldharbour", "Kalthafen^N,in", "Havreglace^M"},
   ["cyrodiil/ava_whole"] = {"Cyrodiil", "Cyrodiil^N,in", "Cyrodiil^F"},
   ["deshaan/deshaan_base"] = {"Deshaan", "Deshaan^N,in", "Deshaan^F"},
   ["eastmarch/eastmarch_base"] = {"Eastmarch", "Ostmarsch^N,in", "Estemarche^F"},
}
 
local mapNames = {
   ["en"] = {
      ["Alik'r Desert"] = "alikr/alikr_base",
      ["Auridon"] = "auridon/auridon_base",
      ["Bangkorai"] = "bangkorai/bangkorai_base",
      ["Coldharbour"] = "coldharbor/coldharbour_base",
      ["Cyrodiil"] = "cyrodiil/ava_whole",
      ["Deshaan"] = "deshaan/deshaan_base",
      ["Eastmarch"] = "eastmarch/eastmarch_base",
      --some map names are not unique, so we have to deal with it
      ["Sancre Tor"] = "not unique"
   }
   ["de"] = {
      ["Alik'r-Wüste^N,in"] = "alikr/alikr_base",
      ["Auridon^N,in"] = "auridon/auridon_base",
      ["Bangkorai^N,in"] = "bangkorai/bangkorai_base",
      ["Kalthafen^N,in"] = "coldharbor/coldharbour_base",
      ["Cyrodiil^N,in"] = "cyrodiil/ava_whole",
      ["Deshaan^N,in"] = "deshaan/deshaan_base",
      ["Ostmarsch^N,in"] = "eastmarch/eastmarch_base",
   }
   ["fr"] = {
      ["désert d'Alik'r^md"] = "alikr/alikr_base",
      ["Auridia^F"] = "auridon/auridon_base",
      ["Bangkoraï^F"] = "bangkorai/bangkorai_base",
      ["Havreglace^M"] = "coldharbor/coldharbour_base",
      ["Cyrodiil^F"] = "cyrodiil/ava_whole",
      ["Deshaan^F"] = "deshaan/deshaan_base",
      ["Estemarche^F"] = "eastmarch/eastmarch_base",
   }
}
 
local language = GetCVar("language.2")
local langlist = { ["en"] = 1, ["de"] = 2, ["fr"] = 3 }
 
function TranslateMapName(name)
   for lang in pairs(langlist) do
      local textureName = mapNames[lang]
      if textureName then
         if Harvest.mapSystem[textureName] then
            --if translated name is not defined, return english name
            return Harvest.mapSystem[textureName][langlist[language]] or Harvest.mapSystem[textureName][1]
         else
            --if texture key doesn't exist in Harvest.mapSystem (for example key "not unique"), return original name
            return name
         end
      end 
   end
   --translation not found, return original name
   return name
end
