Hi mappers Maybe my views on this issue are of some value because I've mapped a few things in bilingual cities.
> Looks to me like > name= will take precidence over name:xx= Renderers who have no prefered language set will use name= and not any of the name:lg= tags. The name:lg= tags will be used once the renderer knows about your language preferences. (I'm arguing from common sense and not from knowledge about any implementation.) > name= zzzz / yyyy > name:en= zzzz > name:tr= yyyy This is what I do when the feature really has two natural names. This happens in bilingual cities, and apparently with war memorials :-) > Now which comes first in the name= zzzz / yyyy ?! :) A more difficult > choice. This is often an arbitrary decision.

Indeed this may serve well for a decision on the order. Though I'd say as soon as you have a strong reason to prefer one you may as well omit the other and add it in a separate name:lg= tag. As a last rambling thought maybe you will encounter cases where it's best to add two nodes next to each other because while the things share a location they might not be the same thing at all. Like when marking encampments that happened at different times by different armies. I have no experience with mapping historical data though.
