As an example, in Vanuatu (which has a history of joined English &
French rule) the street signs often have a small "Rue" in the top
left, then the street name, then a small "St".

So the sign "Rue Bouganville St" would be name:en=Bouganville Street,
name:fr=Rue Bouganville, but what would you put in name=?
