Hi Dimitar,

not sure what you try to achive. Several options have an influence here, most 
important are --name-tag-list and --codepage
See https://www.mkgmap.org.uk/doc/options

I am not sure if --code-page=1257 or --code-page=65001 (unicode) should be used.

Does that help?

Gerd

Betreff: [mkgmap-dev] Improper transliteration of Bulgarian text

Hello all,

There has been a post on the Bulgarian section of the OSM forum that Bulgarian 
names are not correctly transliterated 
(https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=73331). According to these 
users, names show as question marks or if they show up the transliteration is 
incorrect. Here are some examples:
Драгоман - Draghoman instead of Dragoman
Драговищица - Dragovishchica instead of Dragovishticha
Петърч - Pet?rch instead of Petarch

I've found a document that shows what the correct transliteration of each 
letter is. It is complient with the transliteration act as of its last change 
in 2019. Note that it only applies to the Bulgarian language. Other languages 
may have different rules

Is it possible to fix this issue without causing issues for other Slavic 
languages? I haven't investigated how your software works, but a possible 
solution could be to have a different set of rules for each country.

Regards,
Dimitar
