Just for reference I am attached a map image of a road very popular with motorcyclists here in Austin. However irrespective experience or speed a lot of motorcyclists crash in this corner(15mph). Trying to solve speeding or inexperience is not my target however a corner like that if notified previously in some way helps a lot. Voice navigation helps since in that case a motorcyclist is not distracted looking for a corner. I will look into the above stuff and will ask more questions if needed.

[Talk-in] [Local-contacts] The OpenStreetMap website is now translatable at Translatewiki
The main OpenStreetMap website (http://openstreetmap.org) can now be translated on the web using Translatewiki. I originally floated the idea in July[1] and after meeting up with the maintainers of Translatewiki at Wikimania 2009[2] we made it happen. Nikerabbit and Siebrand (Translatewiki guys) have done some great work on making this happen. If you want to translate OpenStreetMap site you can now do so at the Translatewiki site: http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:OpenStreetMap Since it was imported yesterday from the OpenStreetMap SVN server we've had 1500 edits to the translations by 10 different users. 9 of those are to languages that didn't have translations already (although they're still small): Stats for yesterday: http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Translating:OpenStreetMap/stats/trunkoldid=1521779 Stats for today: http://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Translating:OpenStreetMap/stats/trunkoldid=1527284 Stats for *now*: http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:OpenStreetMap/stats/trunk These translations aren't automatically being synced back to the OpenStreetMap SVN repository yet. Me and Nikerabbit have been fixing bugs in the import/export process required to make this happen. Those bugs don't affect translations on Translatewiki.net, but it might be a few days before we can start committing back so the translated strings will show up on the OpenStreetMap site. So please go to Translatewiki and help make OpenStreetMap available in your language! 1. http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2009-July/016127.html 2. http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2009-August/016707.html -- Regards Subhodip Biswas GPG key : FAEA34AB Server : pgp.mit.edu http://subhodipbiswas.wordpress.com http:/www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/SubhodipBiswas ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in

Re: [OSM-talk] i18n-rich areas on the map
Hi! On Sat, Jul 25, 2009 at 8:22 AM, Mikel Maronmikel_ma...@yahoo.com wrote: There's a huge community of translators on the web. OpenStreetMap can work with them directly. Wikipedia, Global Voices, Meedan, and many more working on content. Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenOffice, and many many more working on software. Just a few weeks before SotM, the Open Translation Tools conference was held in Amsterdam :) (http://www.aspirationtech.org/events/opentranslation/2009) Translators are used to a certain kind of interface, typically lists of phrases to translate. We can build an interface more welcoming for translators, and tap into this huge community. They want to simply translate, not add new data to the map .. and as OSM grows, we're going to need to offer multiple interfaces to appeal to different types of contributors What I envision is a simple app, with a slippy map. Zoom/pan to the area of interest, select the types of things you want to translate, and submit. The app generates a list, with the name of the object, the localised names in the languages you're interested in, and a small inset static map for reference. Add your translations, submit. The app gets authorization through OAuth, and submits your changeset. Anyone interested in helping build this kind of app? Any other ideas? Let's do it! One such good translation management system is Transifex.It provides most of what we require here.For more details refer to http://transifex.org/wiki/About. However,Is it possible to have an app with slippy map deployment that does the following: 1.Click on the country or state(in case of multilingual country like India) 2.Get routed to the proper translation interface based on coordinates.(For example on clicking on New Delhi leads the translator to Hindi interface.) 3.Translate/manage/edit based on Transifex.
