[OSM-talk] Multilingual map

[Tal]

Maybe it would be possible to add "{name:de} - {name:it}" support to
the renderer's rule file, rather than putting these values in osm the
database?

For example, for osmarender, instead of having:
 <pathText k="name" dy="2px" class="piste-downhill-name"
text-anchor="middle" startOffset="75%"/>

We'll have:
 <pathText k="{name:de} - {name:it}" dy="2px"
class="piste-downhill-name" text-anchor="middle" startOffset="75%"/>
