[OSM-talk] [OSM-newbies] avoid repeating the name tag twice

[Stephan Plepelits]

I would say it should be exactly the same as for the name-tag[1].

Local language:
name=Foobar
the way with the housenumbers get
addr:street=Foobar

if you have translations
name:ua=Uaah
then you can do
addr:street:ua=Uaah

What might be interesting and worth a discussion: A tag to describe the
default language of this object, e.g. "language=en". This could als be
several tags, e.g.
name=België - Belgique - Belgien
name:nl=België
name:fr=Belgique
name:da=Belgien
(and some more)
language=nl;fr;da    <- this would be new
(I hope I got the languages right, sorry if not)

Comments?
