As might be expected, I've been involved in settling tagging in a few disputed areas, so I've got some experience with differing names.
A few general principles apply - name=* is for the name of the object, as indicated on the ground. If there's no sign on the ground, you'd fall back to the name in the language spoken there. This would probably be Turkish, but if all the sites are only labelled in English for some reason, that's what the name tag should reflect - name:xx=* is for the name of the object, in the language xx. It is not for the name of the object translated into xx, although that may often end up being the same. As an example, my neighborhood has an English name. You could translate that name into German (or another language) but it would be wrong to put it in name:de, as it's not the name of the neighborhood. - You should avoid adding features which do not currently exist, e.g. the sites of historical battles. OSM is not well suited for that. For that kind of use you want to make an overlay, using OSM or another map as the base map. _______________________________________________ Talk-tr mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-tr
