世界中で多言語が実現しています。 このURLの＋マークで、言語を選べます。 この機能が標準になれば、世界中の地名を、name:jaで日本語 name:ja_rmでローマ字で記述することで、 日本語化できます。 （逆に、name:en とかname:esとか入れれば、日本の地名を 多言語で表示できて、観光に有意義です。） うれしくて共有します。 今後、nameには、英語日本語両方ではなく、ローカル言語という ルールになるのかな、とおもいます。 三浦 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: D Tucny <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 9:01 PM Subject: [OSM-talk] Multilingual map To: Talk Openstreetmap <[email protected]> Hi folks, I've been thinking about how it would be good to have the map available in multiple languages... I think the easiest way to do this with what we have is using a captionless base layer and transparent caption layers for each of the languages... So... I put this thinking into practice and put together a proof of concept at http://osm.newportcoastsoftware.com There is a single base, captionless layer and 40 transparent caption layers, all available only to zoom 8. The name tags imported and used to make the different layers are... name - The default name name:ar - Arabic name:cs - Czech name:cy - Welsh name:cz - Typo for Czech name:da - Danish name:de - German name:el - Greek name:en - English name:eo - Esperanto name:es - Spanish name:fi - Finnish name:fr - French name:ga - Irish Gaelic name:he - Hebrew name:hi - Hindi (font problems) name:hr - Croatian name:hu - Hungarian name:is - Icelandic name:it - Italian name:ja - Japanese name:ja_rm - Romanised Japanese name:kl - Kalaalisut (Greenlandic) name:ko - Korean name:la - Latin name:lt - Lithuanian name:lv - Latvian name:nl - Dutch name:pl - Polish name:ro - Romanian name:ru - Russian name:sk - Slovak name:sl - Slovenian name:sr - Serbian name:sv - Swedish name:th - Thai name:uk - Ukranian name:zh - Chinese name:zh_py - Chinese Pinyin name:zh_pyt - Chinese Pinyin with tones This isn't a list of all available languages in use, but, it was most of the languages in use for names of countries and cities when I looked... Issues: The layer switcher is quite long with so many layers, so, the map div has been set to 900px high to fully incorporate it... If less vertical space is available, you'll get a scroll bar, if more is available, the map won't fill the window... The rendering of Hindi has been broken by missed fonts... It should be rerendered in a while... The tiles are bigger than the live site thanks to them not having been created at 256 colours, this is due to transparency not currently working with 256 colour tiles... All tiles are prerendered... They don't get updated automatically and they aren't rendered on request... So if you make changes to OSM, they won't show up on this map for some time... Also nothing currently available beyond zoom 8, though I do plan on making certain areas with good examples of multiple languages available at higher zooms... This is just a proof of concept, it will likely disappear at some point... If anyone has any suggestions, or sees any problems, let me know...
