Nice, I often had problems while editing or validating in countries
with non latin alphabet. Will this be automaticly overlayed to the map
based on your language option ?
I was being facetious of course - it's just the "Transport" map as seen
at osm.org. Actually what I normally use is a map-site that allows you
to switch between layers including the openstreetmap.de ones (such as
https://a.tile.openstreetmap.de/tiles/osmde/5/20/12.png .
The slightly more serious point that I was trying to make was that one
map style can't do everything - if you want to see latin (script, not
language) names there are options available for you to do that right
now. I quite like the idea that the "standard" map tries to use the
local language and doesn't impose one culture's view of what things
should be called - and using Latin (the language) worldwide is of course
not really any different to that - if you truly wanted a "language that
has been in use for a long time and is spoken by a lot of people" you'd
pick a version of Chinese.
