No,
This is about the "desination" sign that you find on major highways,
usually they are green. "Exit 114 chemin Anderson Road" or whatever.
And this specific issue is about road signs in New Brunswick, and New
Brunswick is the only official bilingual province in Canada.

I'm confused by this. According to taginfo there are only 11,000
entries and there is no wiki page.
We have highway=residential, name=xyz street, name:fr=rue xyz
I assume name here is what you mean.
Ottawa is not officially bilingual, it is officially English but
services are offered in French.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multilingual_names
also https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Canada:Ontario:Ottawa and
look for bilingual street names.
Different parts of Canada have different rules according to who is
the authority for naming streets or setting the rules for naming
streets.

Thank you for all the responses. It seems that using
destination:street is expected to have the name in the local
official language. If the sign is bilingual, I propose then to
add the other name as destination:street:en or
destination:street:fr, respectively. This is not yet a
documented tag, but I see no other sensible way to do it and it
seems to me that it would be a logical extension, considering we
already have name:[language ISO code] tags in wide use.
Does this sound agreeable?
Thanks

Les différentes provinces ou états ont souvent un organisme

Sur leur site, on retrouve des listes de noms et les règles

Pour les règles, voir

Les noms affichés sur Geobase.ca correspondent souvent à ces
règles puisque les données de Ressources naturelles Canada
sont fournies par les provinces. Par contre, il peut y avoir
un certain retard lors de modifications de noms. Dans la
section Fournisseurs d'image de JOSM, on retrouve un lien
vers la couche RRN de Geobase. Les données sont aussi
disponibles par province en shapefile.

Whilst I think about it Ottawa is an amalgam of smaller
municipalities so is slowly changing street names to avoid
duplicates. I seem to recall an employee in the street
naming bit is adjusting street names in OSM. So please do
not change a street name to match a photo that might have
been taken some time ago.
In Quebec I understand province wide the standard for names
on maps is "Rue xyz" in Ontario it is left to the
municipality whether to capitalise the first letter or not
so you need to know the rules for each municipality.
Have fun

Ottawa is one of the few places that has bilingual

On the same street I've seen just the name, name street
and rue name street signs.
In Ottawa the majority are Slater street in name then
rue Slater in name:french.
Anything else means it is difficult to search for the
name electronically. "rue Slater Street" is not easy
to enter.
Note for Ottawa it is rue Slater not Rue Slater. Other
places such as Quebec may have different rules.

Hi all,
How do you map bilingual signposts? Ones that say
for example 'Rue Regent St'?
My thought would be destination:street=[name in
primary language for the province] and
destination:street:en / destination:street:fr for
the name in the other language. But I've also seen
just 'destination:street:Rue Regent St'.
My team would like to help make this consistent if
you're up for that, but what should be the
convention? From a machine parsing perspective,
separating out the languages in separate tags is
preferable.
We have a ticket for this question as well,
