[Talk-in] How to get a bot account to upload translated strings for OSM?

[Paul Norman]

Are you generating strings for the software which runs 
openstreetmap.org, or translating place names in OpenStreetMap data? If 
the latter, you shouldn't upload them. The name:* tags in OSM are for 
names in different languages, not for translations of names to different 
languages.
