[OSM-talk-be] Multilingual names

[Gerard Vanderveken]

For the Zoniënwoud, it should be observed that it is located on several 
cities and regions.
Path naming should also follow the rules for the region or city where 
they are located.
- Brussels - Oudergem, Bosvoorde, Ukkel, Woluwe : bilingual Fr- Nl
- Wallonia - Waterloo, La Hulpe : Fr
- Flanders - Hoeilaart, Overijse, Tervuren : Nl
- Flanders - St-Genesius-Rode (facilities) : Nl - Fr

Regards,
Gerard.
