TTBOMK the city/country part of the address comes from the city multipoligon, and it does have an established way to specify localized versions. > You can (mis-)use the addrN schema for that purpose: > > addr:city=<ukrainian city name> > addr:street=<ukrainian street name> > addr:housenumber=123 > addr:2:city=<russian city name> > addr:2:street=<russian street name> > addr:2:housenumber=123 Indeed, it would be a misuse. the user of data should be able to identify the language. > The number of tags multiplies with the number of street/housenumber > combinations, but that may still be simpler than congruent housenumber > polygons all of which are member of several associatedSomething relations. > > I think that the best solution may be: > > addr:city=<ukrainian city name> > addr:city:ru=<russian city name> > addr:street=<ukrainian street name> > addr:street:ru=<russian street name> > addr:housenumber=123 Agreed; but those would be a bunch of new tags, while associatedStreet is already documented in wiki and hopefully supported by software. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
