Re: [OSM-talk] Is there a world render with country/city labels in English?
Looking at other locales (e.g. fr, de) it's interesting how few English place names have local names in other languages compared to the other way round (or at least have been tagged as such in OSM) - only London seems to have local names - whereas many towns in Germany and Italy (less so France, except for pronunciation) have English names. The Welsh locale is interesting though.

Re: [OSM-talk] Is there a world render with country/city labels in English?
I wonder how much of that is down to us seaming needing to change every cities name when in English but foreigners being happy using the English spelling (especially the Latin alphabet countries)? Just from the top of my head we have Munich - München Cologne - Köln The Hague - Den Hagg Ghent - Gent Dusseldorf - Düsseldorf (okay, understandable as English doesn't have umlauts) Hanover - Hannover Although the English spelling of one of Nottingham's twin towns is Timișoara (looks random but is one of Nottingham's twin towns...) - yet every English town I have checked on foreign Wikipedia's uses the English spelling in both Dutch and German On 7 June 2012 13:24, Nick Whitelegg nick.whitel...@solent.ac.uk wrote: Looking at other locales (e.g. fr, de) it's interesting how few English place names have local names in other languages compared to the other way round (or at least have been tagged as such in OSM) - only London seems to have local names - whereas many towns in Germany and Italy (less so France, except for pronunciation) have English names.

The Welsh locale is interesting though. Many places have their names in breton, language spoken in Brittany, NW of France. Every State and a bunch of towns out of the nest of this celtic language, a close parent to Welsh and Cornish, have their breton version (Stadoù-Unanet Amerika for USA, Alamagn for Germany, Londrez for London, , Pariz for Paris…). A remarkable fact was the mechanical import of the names of every municipality and local districts using files of the official public language board (Office public de la langue bretonne). This import (around 2 000 names) was performed in January 2012. According to Tag Info, there are more than 7 500 place names in breton in OSM : http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=name%3Abr See most of them at : http://toolserver.org/~osm/locale/br.html?zoom=9lat=48.13803lon=-3.35306layers=BT Christian Rogel___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
