Hello,

I'm new on the project and I work on brussels's map.

I have a problem, brussels is officially a bilingual city. All streets
have two names, one in french and one in dutch.

Eg. :
In french : Rue Neuve
In dutch : Nieuwstraat

Currently I work like this :
name = Rue Neuve - Nieuwstraat

http://maps.google.fr/?ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=50.852416,4.356776&spn=0.003177,0.010568&om=1

But, when names are big this a problem :
name = Avenue du 2ème Régiment de Lanciers - Tweede Lansiers
Regimentlaan

http://maps.google.fr/?ie=UTF8&om=1&z=17&ll=50.825247,4.392149&spn=0.003179,0.010568

What you think about ?

In old posts I have seen a feature proposition :
name:fr = Avenue du 2ème Régiment de Lanciers
name:nl = Tweede Lansiers

Thank you and sorry for my english.

Jonathan
