The templates are generated and the values were filled in by hand. Nothing sophisticated. Your post did lead to me to find a lot of useful tools that I had previously not been aware of and it would be great if you have ideas to improve it. As I understand it though, you really need to know the language and not just the character set in many cases. There has already been a posting saying that the Cyrillic transliteration should be different for non-Russian languages. So perhaps a somewhat different approach is needed. ..Steve _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
