[Talk-GB] Overpass query strangeness within iD

[Gareth L]

Hi Paul,

I’m not sure if the fault is with the ID viewer, mapnik, or overpass-api really. ID bugs can be reported/tracked through its GitHub repo https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD

For others curious, an example is go to https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/52.37824/-1.23676 and right click> query features on say, the ITP building or air ambulance. It will show “Индустриална сграда itp group” on the results where you choose which element you want more detail on.

I’m not that familiar with the codebase but it looks like there has been quite a lot of activity in the localisation section, so it is possibly a recently introduced bug.

Hi all,

Not sure who to direct this to so apologies for targeting the mailing list. However, I hope the right people can be found this way.

If you use the query feature within iD (which uses the Overpass API) and point at a commercial building you get a Bulgarian label in the results set instead of an English one: Търговска Сграда, which translates as "commercial building" - there might be other cosmetic bugs out there.

Regards,
Paul
