While this might be true in this case or not (don't speak Swedish) there are certainly cases in the world where English is missing a term. So as exception putting a tag in a foreign language (and marking it as foreign) is not a bad idea.

Aside of your question: you should use : instead of . to separate language tokens from "normal" tagnames. And AFAIK it's not a good idea to translate every value like you do it here.

For example, to do public transport routing, you would want to operate at the level of "the train line", not at the level of an individual track. If you mean "which train do I catch to get from A to B" the the presence of the tracks says nothing about the route of the train services. On the other hand if you are working for the train (infrastructure) company planning a train path from A to B you will need to know all the details about the individual tracks and where they connect. Multiple train tracks are definitely conceptually different to multiple lanes on a motorway. In a car on the motorway you can change lanes wherever you like - all the lanes are normally equivalent to each other (exceptions include crawler lanes, carpool lanes etc etc).

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Homeless Shelter
the building tag is used when no other key would be appropriate for it. The bucket of amenities isn't really that full since some already have a commonly used key, so a re-direct or autocorrect recomendation can be made. Iats (building) also used as a secondary tag, where the feature described is not obvious to the end-map user that its a building, and if it houses different activities. and when describing the area around the building where another key wont do, the landuse tag makes the assumption that it's flat. so in this case the entire building is used for 1 primary purpose and it can easily be grouped in a 'community service' as well as an 'amenity' and it's commonly known that a homeless shelter is a building. as would be defined in the descrption. thanks, i was wrong. cheers, sam On 9/4/10, Cartinus wrote: > On Saturday 04 September 2010 11:06:16 Peter Wendorff wrote: >> Hi. >> Should not building=homeless_shelter be correct - and thus more precise >> than the big collection "amenity"? >> >> Peter > > No the building tag is to describe things about a building itself, but not > what just happens to be in it. > > We don't have shops under building=shop, police stations under > building=police_station, ice rinks under building=ice_rink, etc. > > Besides that would just replace the big bucket of unorganised amenities with > a > big bucket of unorganised buildings. > > > -- > m.v.g., > Cartinus > > ___ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging > -- Twitter: @Acrosscanada Blogs: http://acrosscanadatrails.posterous.com/ http://Acrosscanadatrails.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans Skype: samvekemans IRC: irc://irc.oftc.net #osm-ca Canadian OSM channel (an open chat room) @Acrosscanadatrails ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
