> Let's look into some other examples.> Settlements are supposed to be defined with place=city/town/village/hamlet/isolated_dwelling tags. The value depends on the size of the settlement.> But in Belarus for example we call our settlements "город" (can be city or town), "городской посёлок" (can be town or village), "посёлок"/"деревня"/"хутор" (can be village or hamlet or isolated_dwelling).> When people use the maps created form OSM database they don't care about the generic OSM categorization of settlements. They need their local category names.> So what tag should be put those local category names in?
You may start using an additional tag to add information about legal designation of a
settlement (I suspect that tag like this already exists).
