Like most discussions we get a useful survey of opinion and some elucidation of the nature of the problem, with lots of suggestions, but no actual decision on how we are going to proceed, except maintain the status quo. As one of the core objectives of the UK OSM Chapter is to "promote and

Re: [Talk-GB] Welsh language map

https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=10=51.8697=-5.068 also shows Welsh names in Welsh-speaking parts of Wales (using a .poly from Jerry, actually), but that's really a solution to a different problem (described at http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SomeoneElse/diary/42069 ).

Re: [Talk-GB] Welsh language map

I heartily agree that both english & welsh names need to be shown side by side, for this reason can I suggest that when editing names to add a Welsh name if the existing name is English (London Road for instance) also add a name:en tag. If we can work just with name:cy & name:en tags in rendering

Hi Ben, Good to hear. I actually have a version of Carto-CSS which displays welsh names when present. It merely replaces all instances of name in the Carto-CSS queries with a more complicated bit of SQL. For complicated logistical reasons I haven't uploaded this to github, but can put aside some

Re: [Talk-GB] Hospital Departments (was Re: Reception desks)

In general health facility tagging on OSM is very poor. About the best you can say that amenity=hospital actual means is that there is some kind of health facitlity at the location rather than a hospital. Worldwide there are far more amenity=hospital than amenity=doctors. This has also been true
