See my other email about Wales - it includes Welsh names for streets that
sometimes also have English alternatives, so I'm not sure if they should be
minor or major errors. I guess it's unlikely that the primary name would be
in English and that OS Locator would have the Welsh version.

OS Locator also gets Welsh non-ASCII characters wrong (should be minor
errors).

Isn't it name:en rather than en:name?

Thanks,
Tom
