<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Also, about accents, I wouldn't worry
too much, it can be confusing even for a native speaker :). We
usually find the names without accents on the streets and it
doesn't affect searching. So, in case of doubt you can write it
without accent.<br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hello,<br>
<br>
since I have found some friendly and helpful mappers in
this mailing list, I will take the chance and ask some
questions.<br>
<br>
Right now, I am working on the village of Buranhém, Bahia.<br>
(By the way, does one say „Bahia state“ or „federal state
of Bahia“ ?)<br>
<br>
There, I want to add some street names, taken from IBGE
Mapa de Setores Urbanos.<br>
<br>
One street, obviously the same street, has two names<br>
RUA SETE DE SETEMBRO and RUA 07 SETEMBRO. I prefer the
first variant.<br>
Since I am not a native speaker of Portuguese I am not
sure whether to put the „de“ word in Capitals?<br>
Now, I wrote <br>
<blockquote>Rua Sete de Setembro <br>
</blockquote>
is this correct?<br>
<br>
There are some other street names, which, as you know, are
in Upper Case and therefore I ask for assistance<br>
whether some letters need diacritics ( <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diacritic</a>
) and which words of the names need to have an upper case
first letter.<br>
<br>
RUA DOUTOR MANOEL RIBEIRO<br>
RUA DAJUDA<br>
TRAVESSA DO CEMITERIO<br>
TRAVESSA DE LIBERODADE<br>
RUA DAJUDA<br>
RUA HELIO CORDEIRO NUNES<br>
PRACA HELIO CORDEIRO NUNES<br>
RUA DAS FLORES<br>
SAIDA PARA SANTO ANTONIO E MONTE AZUL<br>
<br>
Right now, I am away but will read any answers later this
night.<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot<br>
Andreas<br>
