Re: [OSM-talk] issue with bike sharing preset in josm
I'm passing this onto the dev@ mailing list. I don't think translation is a topic suitable for that list, but I think those who know about the JOSM translation system are more likely to be there and not aware of what's happening in talk@ It terms of the actual tag in the OSM data... Although many people make suggestions, it's not good to change in-use tags in OpenStreetMap. You can't know who is using the data in what ways and what could break as a result. You also have to make everyone change their tagging habbits at the same time, and they may not be aware of a discussion to change the tag. If there is potential confusion(I can see how in this case) then it is down to editors (and translations of editors) to sort that out. For example, Potlatch uses pictures and you don't need to know what the actual tag text is.
