[Talk-tr] Mapping battle site Canakkale (Gallipoli), Turkey [name tag]

[Stephan Balmer]

Hi mappers

Maybe my views on this issue are of some value because I've mapped a few
things in bilingual cities.

Renderers who have no prefered language set will use name= and not any
of the name:lg= tags. The name:lg= tags will be used once the renderer
knows about your language preferences. (I'm arguing from common sense
and not from knowledge about any implementation.)

This is what I do when the feature really has two natural names. This
happens in bilingual cities, and apparently with war memorials :-)

This is often an arbitrary decision. I try to follow the order as
written on the signs or on the plaque.

Indeed this may serve well for a decision on the order. Though I'd say
as soon as you have a strong reason to prefer one you may as well omit
the other and add it in a separate name:lg= tag.

As a last rambling thought maybe you will encounter cases where it's
best to add two nodes next to each other because while the things share
a location they might not be the same thing at all. Like when marking
encampments that happened at different times by different armies. I have
no experience with mapping historical data though.
