Thanks James and John for the info.

<div class="">We are running our own Mapnik rendering server and I will look into the options for displaying specific languages as labels. I will also look into adding the alternate language tags with help from the Arctic Institute.</div>

Within the map there is provision for different language names. Different people have different ideas about which name should be in the name field. In general the English version will be found following the convention of the Arctic Institute. However it
is possible to tag name:en name:fr etc. but then you get a rendering problem. Not all the rendering systems allow you to see anything other than the name field. You'd need to research what tags are / should be used for the indigenous languages remembering
that they are based on European shorthand. OSM allows anything but its working with the rendering systems to display the map afterwards that causes the problem.<br class="">

Maperitive does allow you to adjust the rendering rules to display any of the fields, you might like to use name:en for preference but name if there isn't a value in name:en. Maperitive rules are not the easiest in the world but it does allow you considerable
flexibility. I have Ottawa lying around in Maperitive somewhere that either displays in English or French, the street names for example etc. so you could actually have a map that displayed in an indigenous language.<br class="">

<div class="">I am working at the University of Calgary on a project that is using OpenStreetMap data to provide a mapping service for Arctic researchers. We chose to use OpenStreetMap as we would like to encourage communities to contribute and share their
local mapping data.</div>

<div class="">One of the partners on our project is the Arctic Institute of North America (<a href="http://arctic.ucalgary.ca/" target="_blank" class="">http://arctic.ucalgary.ca/</a>), and one of their members asked me about the naming of islands in the Canadian
Arctic: is there a reason some islands are named in French and others in English? The Arctic Institute generally uses the English names (or names in the indigenous languages).</div>
