As a real common example, you have McDonalds all (or virtually) over the world, so how does the name appear on OSM maps in non-English speaking countries? I know that if I use OSM from Australia & go to other countries, then their map appears in the local language. So if I go to eg Thailand or Cambodia, https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=7/16.810/97.405, can I still search OSM for "McDonalds", or do I have to search for some squiggly hieroglyphics? (With no offence intended to any Thais or Cambodians!) Thanks Graeme
