[OSM-talk] Link to the map legend
Hi, on the talk-de list we are talking about the OSM main page and in particular about the link to the map legend. It is named Map key, a for most German users uncommon word. The English word legend would much better correspond to the German Legende, what would help at least users in Germany. Before I request to change this link, I like to here from native English speakers what's the most common word for a map legend in English. Cheers, detlef Btw. are there any attempts to i18n the main OSM page? ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Key. Definitely. :-( Actually, plain 'Key' rather than 'map key' in my experience. But I would understand legend.

The current plan is to get api06 complete and then rebasing the i18n branch on api06, rather than an old api05/head.

Re: [OSM-talk] Link to the map legend
In the US, we use legend more frequently than key. The word key is used in the phrase answer key - as in the answers to a test.

Re: [OSM-talk] Link to the map legend
Before I request to change this link, I like to here from native English speakers what's the most common word for a map legend in English. We should all know what 'map legend' means, however I have the feeling 'map key' is becoming me common and causing people to be less familiar with what a legend is. If it is helpful to some viewers of OpenStreetMap then I would go with legend, it shouldn't hurt that much. I had forgotten the link was there. The links next to it make you think it would take you to another page than open something up in front of the map. Though I don't have a suggestion for where the legend link could go. Btw. are there any attempts to i18n the main OSM page? i18n what? -- Gregory nomoregra...@gmail.com http://www.livingwithdragons.com ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
