Again, thanks for your interest, Joachim! I had no idea that the story had gone international.
Been doing some checking & it's a mess :-( Wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uluru *Uluru* (/ˌuːləˈruː/ <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English>, Pitjantjatjara <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitjantjatjara_dialect>: *Uluṟu* /ˈʊ.lʊ.ɻʊ/), also known as *Ayers Rock* (/ˌɛərz -/ <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/English>, like *airs*) and officially gazetted <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gazette#Verb> as *Uluru / Ayers Rock*, the Pitjantjatjara <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitjantjatjara> people, call the landmark *Uluṟu* (Pitjantjatjara [ʊlʊɻʊ] <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Australian_languages>) ... although it is used as a local family name by the senior Traditional Owners of Uluru. In 1993, a dual naming <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_naming> policy was adopted that allowed official names that consist of both the traditional Aboriginal name and the English name. On 15 December 1993, it was renamed "Ayers Rock / Uluru" and became the first official dual-named feature in the Northern Territory. The order of the dual names was officially reversed to "Uluru / Ayers Rock" on 6 November 2002 The article also makes reference to the UNESCO World Heritage listing http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/447 Ulu*r*u-Kata Tju*t*a National Park This park, formerly called Uluru (Ayers Rock – Mount Olga) National Park, features spectacular geological formations that dominate the vast red sandy plain of central Australia. Uluru, an immense monolith, and Kata Tjuta, & the directional road sign: https://www.google.com/maps/@-25.1984958,133.2018359,3a,15y,139.71h,89.75t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s0wF9qFh1z43RCsnapBsV1Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 So, with such a mish-mash of underlined & non- names, my own preference would be: name = Uluru / Ayers Rock name:en = Uluru / Ayers Rock name:pjt = Uluṟu old_name = Ayers Rock old_name:en = Ayers Rock if we need to specify name:en, if not, simply name = Uluru / Ayers Rock name:pjt = Uluṟu old_name = Ayers Rock Thanks Graeme
