[OSM-talk] Rendering in a non-default language

[Moshe Sayag]

I am a newbie in OSM and while I've read many wiki pages and some code I
realize that I still don't know much about the different tools and
configurations. I guess thats the upside and the downside of an opensource
project.
Look at the various options: mapnik, kosmos, osmrenderer.

Don't you think it would be nice to have an "OSM studio" that will let you
do most of the thing visually, combining some tools (Josm, t at h, etc.) with
some nice dialogs, buttons and checkboxes?

And I assumed all I had to do is to modify the osmrenderer xslt somehow and
run tiles at home locally.
