Summary: Support bilingual names in our rendering (ala Google
Maps)
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Maps
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: ava...@gmail.com
(This bug mostly via E-Mail from Dirk Stöcker)
We might want to alter our rendering to render the local name below the main
name, e.g.:
The same name in local dialect below the name (smaller font size):
Munich
(München)
The rules should be:
name is to be seen as local
When name == display name --> ignore it
When name == ".* - x" or "x - .*" where x is one of the "name:code"
then ignore it ( some areas have rules like "name = name:x1 - name:x2"
or display one of these two names
- e.g. the first or
- the second if displayed name equals first
Bi-lingual names are very important, as e.g. northern Czech republic is
not understandable in german language, because the German names are no
longer used actively.
