Nominatim adds data that's not coming from OSMl. The language list I mentioned or Tiger address data to name a few.
Maybe the problem is not that big (and that's why it's not in the issue tracker). It will not appear if you only have 1 language preference in your browser. Or when the place is mapped with all name:XX tags that are applicable. So I think you will not encounter this problem in Brussels, as all villages etc. are mapped with name:nl and name:fr. And if we are not creating an issue now, it might never become an issue for Nominatim. Your solution is better than adding data to just Nominatim, as it allows any data consumer to reply with the correct name. Still the data consumer needs to be updated. regards m On Thu, Sep 29, 2016 at 9:58 AM, joost schouppe <joost.schou...@gmail.com> wrote: >> As for your and André's suggestions, feel free to grab a copy of Nominatim >> and alter it, so it recognises default languages on other admin levels. > > > I was actually thinking about how to map this situation, not so much a tool > improvement.
