Re: [OSM-talk] Street Name
Thanks everyone for responding. Thankfully it wasn't abbreviated. I'll leave it as Edelweiss Weg.

FWIW, weg is also a Dutch word with the same meaning as the German one. On Fri, May 30, 2014 at 1:41 AM, Clay Smalley wrote: > "Weg" is German, approximately means "way."

Re: [OSM-talk] Street Name
"Weg" is German, approximately means "way." It's right as it is, no abbreviation. Funny though that it's outside of the German Sprachraum. Is Leavenworth a town with a lot of German heritage?

[OSM-talk] Street Name
I need help with a street name. In Leavenworth, WA there is a street named "Edelweiss Weg" that I want to add. Is Weg an abbreviation for something? It will be tagged highway=service service=alley. Google translate doesn't help. If it is an abbreviation, should it be expanded as we usually do?
