Sajjad, Thanks for the quick reply. I will look at the OSM admin levels tonight to see if they have what I am looking for, but like I need multiple languages for locations. I am not sure how to extract multiple levels of information (tags, notes, names, etc) from OSM if the data has such information. An example would be Andaman and Nicobar Isles, in Bengali আন্দামান ও নিকোবর দ্বীপপুঞ্জ, in Hindi अंडमान तथा निकोबार द्वीपसमूह
I appreciate any help or thoughts about how to get this data. Worst case would be finding multiple lists and joining them or one-by-one linking... For the districts it would be nice to find complete lists or datasets (if such data exists) Thanks!
