the general solution is to put into - "name" all "official" names (or common versions of official names and then in official_name the real official name), separated by "/", see Belgium for example - "name:language-code" the name in a given language
The on-the-ground-rule applies (invented because of the Cyprus case): http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Disputes#On_the_Ground_Rule in cases where previous edit wars and unclear or partially unaccepted situations created problems we sometimes also omitted the "name" tag completely in the past (relying only on name:lang-code) (I think Jerusalem is an example for this) cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
