(iso-codes are known, the rest is spearator)

Aaargh.... Ok I think the local language(s) is (are) the same for all description of a node/way/relation. Then I think we should introduce a new tag, like local_lang=xx and then tag name:xx=Germany addr:city:en="Tel-Aviv" and so on... ???? what do you think about it?? best regards paj _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
