[OSM-talk-be] Multilingual names

[Gerard Vanderveken]

Ik lees ook :
These municipalities should have the official translated names under 
name:nl <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name:nl>=*, name:fr 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name:fr>=* and name:de 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name:de>=* (depending on which 
language facilities are offered), the name 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name>=* tag should contain only 
the official name in the primary language. For the moment, the 
municipalities bordering Brussels also follow the naming schema used in 
Brussels (with both languages in the name tag), while the other 
municipalities have a tendency to only include a single language in the 
name tag. Do not delete translated data by following this rule. If a 
good translation exists in a dutch municipality in french, do not remove 
it. We only care for correct data, as much as possible without being 
intrusive in any way.
Ook de dubbele standaard voor de taalfacileitgemeenten rond Brussel 
lijkt mij niet aangewezen.
Ofwel doe je voor iedere faciliteitsgemeente in de name tag alleen de 
officiele taal, ofwel beiden in volgorde van officiele - faciliteit.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Gerard.
