@Marc: Nominatim is hardly a reference for this.

I know, but when you first visit OpenStreetMap and look for your
street, you are using Nominatim. If your street is not found, OSM is
"worthless" and you might never return to it.
The first impression is important in this case.

Any solution for this problem is fine for me.

I also tend to think that we should find a solution the let any user find the street with any name in Nominatim, especially in this bilingual region. I think that our united and peaceful Belgian OSM community can lead the way here again.

For example, I find particularly irritating to note that some commercial car guidance (often called "car gps") with included commercial maps or commercial mapping systems on the web, do offer the region of Brussels (which is bilingual but to a much larger extend French rather than Flemish) in Dutch / Flemish by default. And not a bilingual version which would be at least normal (for me)

Thanks for the work

Nicolas
