> So the data in OSM is still "color=purple;orange;green" This data will be untranslated for iD users. It is freetext without selectbox and prone to errors. *You have to know tags* *when you use this approach*.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:mtb:scale:imba is not displayed directly as mtb:scale:imba=grade2. We have verbose strings for them: (option #2 in selectbox, RU) "Лёгкая (зелёный круг)" Instead of "trail_visibility"="good" you have string (option #2 in selectbox, EN) "Good: markers visible, sometimes require searching" You can actually translate keys right now in iD, no change in iD code: color:purple=yes "фиолетовый" color:orange=yes "оранжевый" color:green=yes "зелёный" They are just regular tags. This easy solution is impossible with "color=purple;orange;green". I have no idea why there people who advocate "color=purple;orange;green" approach. 70+ messages, but only 1 argument *it is easier to enter*. Easier to enter for the person who knows everything and uses regexes every time - yes, or anybody else - no.
