[Talk-ca] English and French translation required for some road names

[James]

That way seems to be "tagged for the renderer".

1e Avenue is Première Avenue phonetically, but is probably 1e Avenue on the
sign.

As john has said it also depends on municipality, for example in
Orleans(french suburb of Ottawa) you can have street names like this
street(Maskinongé Crescent) https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/515701964 but
the french name is croissant du Maskinongé
