This call is not a hate speech against white-people. It’s a call to
recognise the issue and respond to it.

then why is the picture on top of the bridge when bridge is added.
Hi,
Do you have an example (way number or position) so we can investigate
the issue?

Thank you for this message! You are completely right.
I meant relatively simple in the sense that there are two “obvious”
languages to which a large majority of the region’s speakers minimally
relate to. But you are completely right that it is already an
oversimplification! I do understand
I fully agree. I was only taking the example of South America because
its language community is relatively simple given the size of its area ☺
But I agree that it’s probably not something that we should actually
map. Sorry about that: it wasn’t clear in my message.
About oceans, would you
apart from the issue "international objects receive a tag 'name' with
an English value", there are other ways in which you see how we're
letting USA-UK patronize the rest.
the latest example in my experience would be the 'sac_scale' tagging.
it comes from the SAC-CAS classification, of the
(By the way, I really appreciate the arguments that are given in this
thread: we’re doing good work here! ☺)
So, it seems that we can’t really make these changes to the OSM database
because there are technical issues in the OSM renderrers to be solved
first. In particular, it is currently
Baltic Sea to be the "Baltic Sea" or for South America to be "South
America" - this is an example of English imperialism.
This "imperialism" idea of yours is just your idea. It is not
something that is widely felt.
regarding imperialism, I think it’s hard to reject the reasoning

Hi everyone ☺
OK, it seems that the discussions are going wild again in this new year.
So let’s keep feelings aside and try to answer with arguments instead ☺
Thanks everyone who does that, you are too many to thank individually ☺
@Mario: I’ve seen a lot of people saying that we shouldn’t
I'd suggest using the 6 main United Nations languages for the "name=*"
tag of Oceans and Continents: Arabic, Chinese, English, French,
Russian and Spanish.
That would be very nice, actually. Although a bit redundant, as this
information is already present in the six “name:UN:” tags.
But
I personally am not a fan of using 8 different names in one name tag
(though some countries that have multiple equal languages do favour
that nationally). The example here "Baltijas jūra / Baltijos jūra /
Itämeri / Läänemeri / Morze Bałtyckie / Östersjön / Østersøen / Ostsee
/ Балтийское
You understand correctly. And yes, you can guess a users language from
either http headers or geolocation or even a cookie. But the issue
there currently is, is that there is one Mapnik map with the captions
rendered in the tiles. To do something about that you would need to
make a different
(Long post. TL;DR: I’m presenting the Esperanto community and I am
looking for instances where there is no default language involved around
the renderer.)
IMHO that is more a "he says, she says" argument than anything valid.
To me it comes more across that a small community wants to push its
Interesting. I sent a message two days ago with a very similar topic,
but it hasn’t yet found a moderator to accept it (or reject it). I’m
sending it again here, maybe it can help with the discussion.

Some context first. So there has been this changeset that triggered
