Street signs vary a lot, sometimes on the same street, a good (and maybe extreme) example is Bord-du-Lac/Lakeshore on the West Island. There are English-only signs: <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/Q4wQR">http://goo.gl/maps/Q4wQR</a> , bilingual ones (that leave out the "Drive" in English) <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/0goaN">http://goo.gl/maps/0goaN</a> , French-only <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/3fcnX">http://goo.gl/maps/3fcnX</a> and maybe even more variations. I don't know what official_name=* is for this street, and I'm also not sure what to put into name/name:en/name:fr in this case.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> Harald.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>2012/10/31 Andrew MacKinnon <<a href="mailto:andrewpmk@gmail.com" target="_blank">andrewpmk@gmail.com</a>><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>> Par exemple, un parc devrait-til être "name=Jarry Park" et "name:fr=Parc<br>> Jarry" ou simplement "name=Parc Jarry"?
