Nice!

Did you modify osm2pgsql in order to import multiple name:XX tags into
the PostGIS database ? How is the PostGIS database layout modified ?

I'm working on the MapOSMatic project, and we receive requests from
people willing to render maps with street names in different languages.
Unfortunately, as far as I understood, for the moment, only the main
"name" tag is imported into the PostGIS database by osm2pgsql. So I'm
wondering how you achieved this multilingual rendering.

Thanks,

Thomas
