Re: [OSM-talk] Looking for "primary language" map

We build a similar base in the config file of Osmose-QA, it's done for country or subcountry area, with OSM boundary relation ID. It's more map langue(s) than the official ones. https://github.com/osm-fr/osmose-backend/blob/master/osmose_config.py#L396 Le 11/04/2017 à 03:10, James a écrit :

I once did country-to-language mapping for that. https://github.com/wgnet/globalmap/blob/master/data/country_languages.csv That repo also contains other stuff we implemented for displaying multilingual map. вт, 11 апр. 2017 г. в 4:10, Yuri Astrakhan : > I simply need

Re: [OSM-talk] Looking for "primary language" map

You could try to run the "name" tag though a language detection algorithm and see what comes out. I think Google released one a few years ago: cf. https://github.com/Mimino666/langdetect Ethnologue has some. But I think it would cost a lot to licence. https://www.ethnologue.com/ and is

Re: [OSM-talk] Looking for "primary language" map

You could try to look at the street qualifiers ex. Rue, boulevard, cercle, croissant,etc placed before the street name would be french where as English places it after the name Xyz street rue Xyz On Apr 10, 2017 9:07 PM, "James" wrote: > John I meant the name itself:

Re: [OSM-talk] Looking for "primary language" map

John I meant the name itself: Jeanne d'arc weather you say boulevard or Boulevard it's pronounciation should be french same with Des Forest, Decarie, Chateau, Charlemagne. But then you have really english names like Tenth Line, Pheonix, Aquaview, etc So as I said generalizing won't help as well

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

Re: [OSM-talk] Looking for "primary language" map

Orleans is part of Ottawa and all street names signs are bilingual or in the process of being replaced by bilingual ones. Certainly the street I live on in Orleans has a bilingual street name sign. The English French question is very much political in Canada and I suspect much of the world.

Re: [OSM-talk] Looking for "primary language" map

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

Re: [OSM-talk] Looking for "primary language" map

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

James, thanks, but I was hoping for the language regions shapefile, e.g. in the GeoJSON form. The list of official languages will require a lot of work to convert into the merged shapes, and it still not very good, as many countries have several official languages, e.g. Switzerland. On Mon, Apr

[OSM-talk] Looking for "primary language" map

Does anyone know of an open source language map - basically a set of geoshapes with the corresponding language code? Country boundaries are not needed - e.g. Canada and USA would be English with the exception of French for Montreal area. This is needed to guesstimate what language the "name" tag
