Let's say for example that you have the protected areas shp file downloaded
from the geogratis website, and let's also say you have ogr2osm installed on
your computer. You could potentially download the attached file, and place
it in a folder called "translations" inside the same folder that the
shapefile is unzipped to. You could then possibly run the following command:
ogr2osm.py -t nrcan_protected protarea.shp
You could then, hypothetically, suggest any changes to the tagging.
Here's what ogr2osm found:
Detected projection metadata:
GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",
DATUM["WGS_1984",
SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137.0,298.257223563]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],
UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]]
....
All values for attribute PROV_EN:
{'Alberta / Northwest Territories': 1, 'Ontario': 330, 'Newfoundland and
Labrador': 30, 'Saskatchewan': 196, 'Prince Edward Island': 3, 'British
Columbia': 22, 'Nova Scotia': 38, 'Quebec': 238, 'British Colombia': 287,
'Alberta': 116, 'Manitoba': 64, 'Northwest Territories': 12, 'New
Brunswick': 18, 'Nunavut': 22, 'Yukon': 21}
All values for attribute PROV_FR:
{'Alberta / Territoires du Nord-Ouest': 1, 'Territoires du Nord-Ouest': 12,
'Ontario': 330, 'Nouveau Brunswick': 2, 'Saskatchewan': 196,
'\xcele-du-Prince-\xc9douard': 3, 'Qu\xe9bec': 238, 'Nouvelle-\xc9cosse':
38, 'Colombie-Britannique': 309, 'Yukon': 21, 'Alberta': 116, 'Manitoba':
64, 'Nouveau-Brunswick': 16, 'Nunavut': 22, 'Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador': 30}
(The command line puts out hex values like \xc9, but the osm file has
accented characters)
