Hu! As far as I understood, this thread was about regions where local names are not obvious: 2009/3/6 Iván Sánchez Ortega <[email protected]>: > Because, *sometimes*, the default name is different from the local name in the > official language... or the official language in a zone may be contested. In other cases, and most of the time, the local name IS in the official language. So I don't understand why we should write name=Терещнкіівська + name:ua=Терещнкіівська or addr:street:ua:Терещнкіівська I have the feeling that someone could believe by reading this thread that the "recommended" way to write all names everywhere is to enter twice the same: name=local name name:local_country_code=local name which is unnecessary excepted for the special multilingual zones as commented above. But I don't think Ukraine is in this case. Pieren _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
