> A example for very bad naming convetions:
>
> google maps: Hertsel/Netanya
> Openstreetmaps Eng: Herzel/Netanya
> Openstreetmaps Heb: הרצל/Netanya
> Wikipedia translation of הרצל : Herzl
> Written on the street sign : Theodor Herzel (I'm just guessing)

It goes even more complicated....
AFAIK, the right spelling is Herzl, but even so, you'll be able to
find any variation of the name: Benjamin Ze'ev (Theodor) Herzl

Not to mention how many different spelling there are for the city
Herzliya (Herzelliya ?)....

Do you know the street called Arlosoroff?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haim_Arlosoroff

I really don't know what to enter, the right spelling (Arlosoroff) or
the one that is more probable to be searched by the user (Arlozorov).
For now, I'm entering

name ארלוזורוב
name:he ארלוזורוב
name:en Arlosoroff
name:en1 Arlozorov
