[OSM-talk-be] OSM in French and Dutch

[Jonathan Beliën]

Hi everyone,

 

Good point indeed.

 

It’s not very complicated to generate a custom rendering. For example, I did it for BeNeLux + France + Germany using imposm 3 (https://imposm.org/ ) and MapServer + MapProxy for rendering. 

 

My rendering use « default » names but I could have used NL name or FR names as needed.

 

It works quite well and it’s not too complicated (even with a recurring update). The only problem is the disk space those « tiles » use on the server. It’s already quite big for the small area I cover (BeNeLux + north of France + west of Germany) ; I can’t imagine the number of tiles if we want to cover the whole world.

 

I do not know how to organize that but we could have a « Belgium OSM rendering FR » and a « Belgium OSM rendering NL » created, hosted and maintained by « OSM.be ».

Hi,

 

Someone asked on Twitter about a rendering of OSM in Dutch and French to avoid the clutter of bilingual names in the standard rendering.

The French render is easy, OSM France provides it. But how about a Dutch rendering? Do you know of one?

 

It might be cool to create a little webmap on OSM.be with the three official languages. If you help me find a Dutch rendering, I can make that (I've just learned the basics about leaflet).

 

It looks rather easy to make a style with mapbox, but you need to extract the data through Overpass for exotic languages like Dutch, so it would be a bit of a job to keep that up to date.
