Many thanks to Naveen for pushing for having Indic language rendering of the map https://github.com/osm-in/openstreetmap.in/issues/14
Last week, we got out a demo of this live on the OSM India website, you can try it out there: http://openstreetmap.in/demo.html The language switching currently works only for place names upto city level, but that can be easily expanded as we get more translations in other languages. Have documented how the map was made here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/PlaneMad/diary/38176 The rendering of Indic scripts has some issues as the GL environment does not have support for complex text shaping. This is being tracked here: https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl/issues/4 Feel free to get into the OSM India repository and contribute to code improvements. We can make some really useful demos to showcase with institutions. -- Arun Ganesh @planemad <http://j.mp/ArunGanesh>
