What I said is in fact how OSM.org display names in the Nominatim search left pane. What Joost is asking, "a rendering of OSM in Dutch and French" ("or", I suppose) can be done by overlaying a nameless background and names foreground like this example for Liège and Russian: http://c.tile.openstreetmap.de:8002/tiles/1.0.0/bg//11/1055/688.png http://c.tile.openstreetmap.de:8002/tiles/1.0.0/labels/ru/11/1055/688.png http://c.tile.openstreetmap.de:8002/tiles/1.0.0/labels/ru,_/11/1055/688.png The foreground overlay could be rendered in text mode for speed. Cheers André.
