Ideally, the labels would be localised per user. Requires a good deal of work .. a nice meaty project! I can sketch out some of the ideas around this if anyone is interested.<br><br></div><div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:12pt">
I know there's been discussion and some action around a local OSM India server. This would give full control, and it could be possible to render an English only tile set, a Hindu only tile set, etc.<br><br>-Mikel<br>

Hi,<br>I saw that in OSM the names of cities at lower zoom levels appear in<br>some local language(I think its hindi). Only on zooming in english<br>name is visible. Is there a way to turn of this stuff and see only<br>English names. Infact non hindi areas also show up in hindi. Some<br>
language nazi at work here?<br>Tanveer<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Talk-in mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Talk-in@openstreetmap.org" target="_blank">Talk-in@openstreetmap.org</a><br><span><a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in" target="_blank">http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in</a></span><br>
