[Talk-il] English in place names

[Baruch Even]

Hi,

I'd like to discuss a change that was done lately and I oppose, namely,
adding an english or phonetic name (in english letters) to place names.
You can check the tiles at home map for example Netanya

I see no reason to add the English name to place names, that's why we
have name:en, the name tag in Israel should be the Hebrew name. This is
the convention everywhere else and should be the same here. If someone
will want a map with English names he should render the name:en tags and
not the name tags.

What do others think?

Cheers,
Baruch
