My version:

Using custom model (myapp.City)
Add field name_local

create migration/command:

cities = City.objects.filter(name_local__isnull=True)
for instance in cities:
lang = instance.country.language_codes.split(',')[0]
if lang:
    alt_name = instance.alt_names.filter(language_code=lang).order_by('-is_preferred').first()
    name_local = alt_name.name if alt_name else instance.name
    City.objects.filter(pk=instance.pk).update(name_local=name_local)

Same for Country
