For the Zoniënwoud, it should be observed that it is located on several
cities and regions.
Path naming should also follow the rules for the region or city where
they are located.
- Brussels - Oudergem, Bosvoorde, Ukkel, Woluwe : bilingual Fr- Nl
- Wallonia - Waterloo, La Hulpe : Fr
- Flanders - Hoeilaart, Overijse, Tervuren : Nl
- Flanders - St-Genesius-Rode (facilities) : Nl - Fr
Regards,
Gerard.

Hey Marc,
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User_talk:Gplv2 on the discussion
tab. Didn't you get a mail for that ?
oh .. I see , that probably goes to my google mail address, a bit of a
trashbin-mail account with massive amounts of spam hiding real messages,
I only check that sporadically
As for the French-Dutch. I think I added a name once to a path in
Zonienwoud, in the other order. Can't find it right now. Perhaps
someone corrected my vandalism :-)
The tool I made would pick that up and flag it, I only corrected about
3% (99%-96%). It just made sense to further unify the data that way and
match the wiki page, didn't give it much thought hence failed to raise
this issue to the list.
I believe it's better this way as the former rule seemed to be a
political motivated one, and that has no place in OSM. We should
refrain from making those types of decisions.
Like you, I don't care french is first , dutch is second, as long as it
is done consistently. It makes the map look good.
In that regard, I am desperately looking for a quality resource on
street names in BXL, and I need one that is written exactly how it
should be written.
I used a document that was very complete but I failed to understand the
spelling rules in french language (I was always taught that capitals
aren't accented but apparently there are notable exceptions, one of them
applies to streetnames).
I was educated on the subject by Yves (bxl-forever). I stopped my edits
at once and still need to roll back some of those accent problems, but I
need a street list first, when I have one, I can incorporate it in the
tool, that would be an awesome feature to have.
Sorry for not being more forthcoming on this, I didn't expect this
impact on us.
That Q/A tool would help you find the problem if it exists, I downloaded
zonienwoud to an osm file but it seems that a packages I use (medoo) has
been broken since I last used it. I have to fix the source code first.
Glenn
