Hi, I would like to support the idea of name:gd=***** for Gaelic names. In Portree there are definitely two names in OS Locator for several roads an example is highway: residentialname: Mill Parkname:gd: Pairc na Muilnesource: OS_OpenData_StreetView at http://oscompare.raggedred.net/?zoom=18&lat=57.4161&lon=-6.19&layers=B0TF If there has not been an official vote on this type of tag then maybe a decision should be made because it will affect a lot of people making international language maps. for example http://osmalba.org/ I would be willing to help with some wiki work if needed to set up voting though I think a straight decision would be a lot easier. Nice work on the new OSM Analysis by the way. Any chance of totals in the table analysis page. It would give us a type of countdown clock for the uk Cheers Bob

The OS Locator data does have Gaelic names in some places. See for example Portree: http://oscompare.raggedred.net/?zoom=15&lat=57.41533&lon=-6.20179&layers=B0TF Also some parts of Stornoway: http://oscompare.raggedred.net/?zoom=15&lat=58.21523&lon=-6.37094&layers=B0TF Though it is inconsistent, with English names for some roads, Gaelic names for others. I have also noticed a few places where it seems to have both languages, so it has a separate box for each. For Stornoway, the Gaelic names are in the name= tag, with name:en for English. But for Portree it is mostly the English name in the name= tag, with name:gd for the Gaelic names. Its debatable which one should be considered the 'primary' name there.
