[Tagging] differences on wiki about roles of relation route.

[Richard Mann]

the :number roles are obsolete (you should order the relation members
instead - probably using JOSM)

The English definition of the forward/backward roles is correct. If
the relation is one-way, and the direction of the way is the same,
then use "forward". If the direction of the way is opposite, use
"backward". This means that the roles for the members of a relation
may have to switch between forward and backward, even though the
direction of the route remains the same.

I'm not sure about the "link" role; I don't think it's used much, so
nobody has got round to translating it
