Later is we want.
Our goal is to display all the street names, village,city names, POI
in Tamil language.
we export the interested strings from OSM.
using a telegram bot, contributors can see a string in english and
types in tamil name.
As we can not get the user's OSM credentials as text in telegramBot,
we need a bot account to update OSM with the tamil names to all the
relevant english names that volunteers have translated.
Is this process is fine?
Share your thoughts.
