Let's look into some other examples.
Settlements are supposed to be defined with
place=city/town/village/hamlet/isolated_dwelling tags. The value depends on
the size of the settlement.
But in Belarus for example we call our settlements "город" (can be city or
town), "городской посёлок" (can be town or village),
"посёлок"/"деревня"/"хутор" (can be village or hamlet or isolated_dwelling).
When people use the maps created form OSM database they don't care about
the generic OSM categorization of settlements. They need their local
category names.
So what tag should be put those local category names in?
