+1 This is why we (well, all credit goes to user mpele) started with our own transliteration plugin (Serbian Cyrillic <-> Serbian Latin) [1], based on the tag editor plugin: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/TagEditor It could be a nice idea to extend this to a more general purpose multilingual editor, with e.g. copy source lang to dest lang option, more transliteration filters, etc. M [1] http://svn.mpele.iz.rs/SerbianTransliterator/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
