Myself, I'd also prefer to have them all consistently ordered in the same way. As far as I'm concerned FR - NL is fine for that. When preparing the dataset we could have had half of the streets NL - FR and the other half FR - NL arbitrarily... but I/we chose not to do that for hopefully obvious reasons. It would have been 'fair', of course, but I don't think it would have been better.
Where I wouldn't mind 'cleaning up' is in the faciliteitengemeentes, just outside of Brussels and elsewhere. In the ones with 'faciliteiten' for the French, it should be: name = Blablastraat name:nl = Blablastraat name:fr = Rue Blabla And in the others name = Rue Blabla name:nl = Blablastraat name:fr = Rue Blabla Now it's very often name = Rue Blabla - Blablastraat For the bus stops, I'm having a bit of a problem in our multilingual country as well. We decided that for most places we include the city/village name. But who has ever heard of places like Zittert-Lummen, Mark, Bevekom and my favourite: Lettelingen (Petit-Enghien)? So I think it makes more sense to put the French names of those stops there and the name De Lijn has in name:nl In Brussels I have another variation on this problem. I guess the names should be bilingual in the whole region. At the moment I put Dutch names for the stops of De Lijn, bilingual ones for STIB/MIVB and French names for stops of TEC.
