Actually, the convention is that objects should be tagged with four names. The 'name=*' tag is Hangul followed by English in brackets. This is the most important, as it is the 'fallback' tag for rendering a name. The others are 'name:en=*' for the English name, 'name:ko=*' for the Korean name (in Hangul), and 'name:ko_rm=*' for the Romanised Korean name. To some degree this information is redundant, but I am only following the Korean mapping recommendations here: <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ko:Map_Features#.ED.91.9C.EA.B8.B0.EB.B2.95> Andrew _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
