I like the idea of the language element. I would like to add an extra
precision in this case. I think the order of language should be by
importance.
Unfortunately, in this case namely the country, it is something highly
political to even consider an order. But, in the case of a town located
Hello,
Yes, it is potentially a minefield. I clearly indicated so previously.
Well, I guess what matters is what you are going to do with the data.
Someone earlier raised the very valid point that most of the problem
could actually be solved by using the rendering in Mapnik by specifying

Hi,
this is an interesting question. I have a slightly related question
regarding the naming of objects in OSM.
I was wondering in that case the :ua is actually needed since it is
actually the native language of the place. Wouldn't it make more sense
to have simply addr:street: and keep the one
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

Sounds like I can do:
addr:street:en:Tereschenkivska Street
and

Is this best practice?

In Brussels they want the default map to show street names in France and
Dutch.

Hi,
sorry, I have been of for some days..
What Pierre-André has suggested though, seems to be different to name
in that rather than having name:local contain the name, what he's
actually suggesting is that the value of name:local refers to the local
language, perhaps better named as

As Michel pointed out, we have the same issue in Belgium, especially in
Brussels which is officially bi-lingual, i.e. all street names have both a

To bypass the problem of having to retype both the name:nl anf name:fr in
name, I've implemented in Merkaartor a feature which

We're facing a similar issue for mapping in neighboring Lebanon. In
addition to English, we use Arabic and French so we end up having four
name tags: 'name', 'name:en', 'name:fr', 'name:ar'
The name tag is a duplicate of one of the three languages depending on
