Hello, This questions are coming over and over through my mind, "How will I handle bilingual labels"
In the country I want to map, there are ofter two names for each city/street and I need to display both of them. For cities, I have concatenated both names in one with a space in between. (name1 name2) With a good "wrap width" value I have a quite good result displayed on two lines but that's not perfectly perfect :-p I'd have preferred keeping them separated and giving each text a different style but there I have troubles with collisions and the amount of label displayed where there isn't enough space to display them all ... The problem for street name is a bit different. I would like something like --- label 1 --- label 2 --- label 1 --- label 2 --- ... a good alternation between label 1 and 2 and a constant space between labels. There I'm struggling with "spacing" and "minimum distance" in my XML for about an hour without a neat result. So I am looking for some hints in case someone would have already done such things. Thanks in advance.
