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 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>
