Where problems actually do occur is in streets which have a different name on both sides (only in Belgium, I guess. It happens on streets that form the border between two 'villages'). Anyway, then the name tag can contain up to 4 variants.
The separator is ' - ' on purpose, to distinguish it from a simple hyphen. We were smart enough not to use that ' - ' combination for anything else than separating 2 language forms. And there is always a name:nl and name:fr to compare with on those objects. Jo 2018-05-10 1:10 GMT+02:00 Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com>: > > > sent from a phone > > > On 10.
