I simply need to determine the most likely language of the "name" tag (not the "name:xx" tag). Does not have to be 100% correct - even 80% is great. On Mon, Apr 10, 2017 at 8:59 PM john whelan wrote: Orleans is part of Ottawa and all street names signs are bilingual or in the process of being re

Well it might not be as simple as you say...take for instance Ottawa. It's in Ontario and pretty english. There is a suburb called Orléans in which is pretty much "the french part of town" as most street signs will be in french, but rest of Ottawa is pretty English(in terms of street signs) So ge

Exactly, and that's the map I need -- a set of shapes that define these region mapping: Quebec+New Brunswick => fr, the rest of USA/Canada => en, ... The shapes may overlap because that would make geojson smaller - I will simply use the first one. Having this map will allow me to determine the lik
