Hi<br><br>Let me first introduce myself, Kaj-Michael Lang (onion on the wiki),<br>mapping Finland, mainly around the City of Turku/Åbo.<br><br>Anyway, my question is this:<br>How should I handle streets/locations with two official names in
<br>different languages (fi and se) ? For example Turku is the finnish name<br>and Åbo the swedish for my city.</blockquote><div><br>I'd have thought something like:<br>name:fi=Turku<br>name:se=Åbo<br>and then set name= to whatever is the "common" name in that place.
<br><br>That's just off of the top of my head as a sensible solution -- I don't know if anyone has actually put thought into this? Future renderer/whatever options could then let you choose "local" language or pick a language of your choice, obviously defaulting to the name= tag if not available in your preferred language.
