[Talk-GB] Edits in Wales

[Brian Prangle]

Hello Miguel and welcome to Wales. Thank you for your work in improving
data in Wales. You have raised a subject which needs attention but we don't
have an active community in Wales, just individual mappers and I believe
that opinions from England aren't enough. I think you should just continue
with your approach. We need to find a solution to this problem. How do you
do it for names in regions of Spain with local languages? The UK OSM
chapter has a project for a map rendered with Welsh names, but it is
stalled because we don't currently have a resource.

Saludos Brian
