Is it doing anything with the multilingual names in OSM (name:de=... and similar)?<br><br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:name">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Key:name</a><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>It uses "name", then "place_name" (but only when name is not given),<br>
then "ref", "iata", "icao", "old_name", and "loc_name" as if these were<br>
in square brackets after the name as described above. Hence<br>
"name=Archway Road; ref=A5; loc_name=Traffic Jam From Hell" is treated<br>
as if it were "name=Archway Road [A5] [Traffic Jam From Hell]".<br>
<br>
I have also just tweaked it to include alt_name in this list, but that<br>
will only apply to new or touched objects until I do a complete reload<br>
in a few months time.<br>

</div>Indeed, but why not just use alt_name that we already have. Or to follow<br>
the pattern, for this kind of name, nick_name=...<br>
<br>
(If you do this, I need to know in order to recognize it to add to the<br>
index).<br>
