Hi all, I contacted the most active mappers in NB. It seems that mapping bilingual street destinations with destination:street:fr and destination:street:en respectively is an acceptable solution. So the exit way related to the image in our ticket ( https://github.com/TelenavMapping/mapping-projects/issues/27) would be mapped as:
destination=New Maryland destination:street:fr=Rue Regent Sud destination:street:en=Regent Street South destination:ref=101 South (just destination tags, ignoring the other tags obviously needed) As promised, I will update the OSM wiki to clarify the destination:street tagging some. Does this sound okay to you? Thanks for all your feedback. Martijn On Fri, Oct 6, 2017 at 3:36 PM, Martijn van Exel <m...@rtijn.org> wrote: > Hi all, > > Thanks all for your input.
