Some remarks (I know we are not mapping for XXX) * Putting both Dutch and French names under name, breaks OsmAnd's capability to tell the name in Dutch or French as far as I know. It now tells both names * name:left and name:right are not recognized by Nominatim AFIAK. So searching for only Komenweg will fail.
I'm not saying that we have to adapt our current mapping, just pointing out a few flaws in the data & tools for our complex situation. regards m On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 12:21 PM, Sander Deryckere <sander...@gmail.com> wrote: > How should this way be tagged? http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/30126046 > > The right side is in Heuvelland (Flanders), and has only a Flemish name: > Komenweg > > The left side is in Comines-Warneton (Wallonia), which is a French-speaking > municipality with Dutch language facilities, so has a name in both > languages: Chemin des Quatre Rois - Vierkoningenweg. > > Now, for names that differ by language, we usually write them as name:nl and > name:fr.
