[Talk-in] Issue on ading PIN with maps.me android app

[Shrinivasan T]

I am exploring various tools to add POI.

Found maps.me is nice and have offline downloads for faster navigations.
It has plenty of POI types than OSMContributor.


One issue I found with this is,

It adds the name as name:en

The name field is left empty.
Because of this, on OSM and other apps, the POI names are not displayed.
Only the icons are displayed.

Example:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5246587821

The XML for this is as below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<osm version="0.6" generator="CGImap 0.6.0 (23252
thorn-03.openstreetmap.org)" copyright="OpenStreetMap and
contributors" attribution="http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright"
license="http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1-0/">
 <node id="5246587821" visible="true" version="1" changeset="54063811"
timestamp="2017-11-25T03:29:43Z" user="Shrini" uid="424564"
lat="12.9182793" lon="80.1159558">
  <tag k="name:en" v="BSNL telephone office"/>
  <tag k="office" v="government"/>
 </node>
</osm>


Once added via maps.me, I have to use computer to copy paste the
name:en field to name field manually.

How can we automate this?


If I add the POI via OSM contributor, the name field is added as name
itself and visible in all applications.

Did any of you experienced the same?


Thanks.
