The authors have done this by using tags like name|nl and name|fy to distinguish names of towns and places in Dutch and Fries. They also created a custom render program to show only the name|fy labels.
My guess is that this method might work excelent for cyprus: name,name|tr,name|gr where name will be the general notation, name|tr the turkish notation and name|gr the greek notation. Of course this can lead to discussion what the general notation would be, but if the map interface gives users the option to select a language and then get the map in their requested language might solve these conflicts. Basically this would mean: - Setting up custom renders per language - Adding a language to a user profile - Adding the option to the general map interface to pick up the users-system language based upon browser settings. I think it would be best to use the International language code notation for the language descriptors(en_US,en_UK,nl_NL,nl_FY and so on) Would that be an option? > 2.
