Clarification: The Openstreetmap Carto style (which is used on the "Standard" map layer of openstreetmap.org) does not render place=ocean or place=sea or place=continent.
The only features discussed which are currently getting rendered are natural=strait and natural=bay*. Currently Openstreetmap Carto and the other 3 map styles on openstreetmap.org are raster maps, with pre-rendered tiles stored on the servers, so it will take a fair amount of work to make the technical changes to render server-side vector tiles and show different languages to different users by rendering different raster tiles when requested. If you want to see this happen, we could use more volunteers with the time and ability to work out the issues. See: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/3201 - Joseph Eisenberg * (I personally tried to stop rendering bays and straits at low zoom levels, since I think it is a mistake to render these without place=sea, and to encourage mappers to create huge multipolygons to get the rendering) On 2/26/20, Frederik Ramm <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > On 26.02.20 13:13, Maarten Deen wrote: >> Will it be nothing in the name tag and are we then going to complain >> that the opencarto style falls back to name:en? > > Increasingly, I think the absence of a name tag wouldn't even be > noticed.
