Nominatim is missing name:en in its internal list, so name:la is the next best it finds. Something is wrong with taking over the names from the OSM country boundaries. I'll have a look.

Re: [Talk-GB] Nominatim oddity
Hmm. Well, in my case, it seems to come up as "Royaume-Uni"! I'll need to try to fix that. (presumably in my account settings...)

Do you have your browser languages set to prefer Latin or something (that's the name:la for the UK relation).

Re: [Talk-GB] Nominatim oddity
That's the name in latin for the UK, I think. Is it under name:la, and do you have your browser set to latin for some reason? I was able to set Chrome to Latin, and your URL did indeed have "Britanniarum Regnum" for place:country. But in Firefox, set to English (GB), it just displays as "United Kingdom".

[Talk-GB] Nominatim oddity
This may be a dim question, and this may possibly be the wrong place to ask it. But, at the risk of being both dim and out of place... Why does Nominatim return "Britanniarum Regnum" as the country name for objects in the UK?
