Time to choose a name of your choice for your own neighborhood in OSM, after all we are or close to be the next authoritative source :) Yves Le 16 août 2018 16:40:06 GMT+02:00, Martin Koppenhoefer a écrit : > > >sent from a phone > >> On 16.

Can we revert Google? Google does not seem to take much responsibility. When you look at the dutch version of Google Maps, they have a lot of cities translated to what they think are names we use. Some we do, some we don't. Or have never done. For instance: Paris in dutch is Parijs and gets used a lot. An archaich name for Ljubljana is Laibach and was mostly used in germanic countries, but never really used in the Netherlands. Guess what Google chooses to show dutch users of Google Maps when they look at Ljubljana. This has been pointed out to Google many, many times (through their inadequate feedback tool and via Google employees) and has long been ignored. It has now been corrected, as well as the nearby town of Marburg an der Drau, but in Northern France we still see Sint-Omaars, Ariën-aan-de-Leie en Dowaai. And sometimes they make really stupid translations. The Dutch town of Balk is translated to Balke in German and Beam in English. Yes, that is the correct translation for the technical structure, but no sane person would use that for the town's name and it has never been an official translation.
