This is ideal and I recommend it. It allows trivial creation of a "default" map like we see on osm.org (French in Quebec, English in Ontario.) It also allows trivial creation of an all French or an all English map, as I have on my demo server. I think I've linked it previously. I hope to have a better demo available late tomorrow. > * About French translation of the Canvec wiki pages.

Looks like this works: - start at the page you wish to translate - add language code to the address, like: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:CanVec - edit new FR: page - include template {{language|CanVec}} at top of both pages so the translations link to each other. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
