Hello!
Is there any way to implement the following localization strategy:
1. display russian (russian is just for example) name if it exists
2. display english name if russian name doesn't exists
3. display local name otherwise
The problem for me is to determine which language is used for some
region by default. I have found this discussion
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Language_of_this_element>
but without solution.
There's currently no way to determine what language the "name"-tag is in.
Your question doesn't seem to be a tagging one though, because as I
understand you want to have different rendered outputs, correct?
Like John Smith explained this has to be done with some clever JOIN SQL
statements.
Some further readings here [1] and an example of a rendering of the
world map in different languages here [2].
