Hi everyone, Recently I have been working on right-to-left language support across OpenStreetMap, iD, and related JS libraries. As part of this project, I commissioned a Dhivehi translation of parts of the OSM map viewer, registration and login process, and iD editor. I was lucky to find someone in the Maldives who could do this for a reasonable budget, and am talking to someone who can confirm our remaining translations. You can see a sample About page at https://georeactor.github.io/osm-maldives/
The Maldives is one of the most at-risk countries for climate change and related severe weather. I would like to set up a local workshop on OSM, based on my prior experience in Mongolia. My plan is to arrive at Malé from 25 September and leave from Addu City on 12 October. If anyone on our list has contacts in the Maldives (or in UNDP, which I know is active there) please let them know that we are translating the website and that we could work on a number of projects: expanding local data, using bilingual placenames, city services, mapping new reclaimed land. Thanks, Nick Doiron
