Maperitive but I don't recall seeing destination:street=Rue Regent

Also do cosumers use destination:street:[lang code]? Is it a standard or
just invented?

That seems to be in the Montreal area(guessing) so i'd put
destination:street=Rue Regent
destination:street:en=Regent Street

just like street names.
Name=default language and then you can addon name:fr or name:en

Rue Regent St is incorrect. Rue Regent is french and Regent Street would be
English. Just the fact that Street is shorten to St is wrong as osm fully
expands names
