It looks like it perhaps, just like "Londen" (used in Dutch) is a "soundalike translation" from its English counterpart. And you'd certainly not find "Londen" on any sign in London to verify this *correct* Dutch name for it. But it's certainly correct that London has name:nl = Londen. cheers, Derick _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
