This is such an awesome project and love how easy it is to translate! Such
an easy to use mobile interface is a great contribution to localize the
world map [1].

Before getting a bot account, it would be great to demonstrate that the
quality of translations sourced by this method is of sufficiently high
quality. That would greatly help build a case for an automated upload
system.


The name:* tags in OSM are for names in different languages, not for
> translations of names to different languages.


Paul, these are translations and not transliterations[2]. Is that what you
were asking?
