If you see the addr:* tags as needing the complete address data on every object, then you can do as above. If you think like me and see addr:country as useless database pollution. Then addr:street is just there to link the object with the address to a nearby street. This nearby street will have the tags highway=* + name=Терещнкіівська + name:en=Tereschenkivska Street (+ maybe name:ua=Терещнкіівська) Then only the value of name= of the street needs to match the value of addr:street of the object with the address and you can do a more complex look-up to get all the multi-lingual versions of the address. -- m.v.g., Cartinus _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
