English mappers have argued for "St" as different to "Saint", see

I don't know how North Americans feel about "St." vs. "Saint" but
I think the expanded name is not friendly for foreigners.
For example, assume you are in Japan, and your navigation app shows "Turn
left at '杉小学校前'".
After a few minutes you will see a guide sign '杉小前'.
Maybe you would wonder you should turn here or not.
So I think `name` should be 'labeled text

Or must one always look up the English version in

Also what if there is no exact English equivalent?
The lamp is in Taiwan.

We either come up with the best English translation we can, or use some
(transliterated, in this case) variant of the local word.

We are developing the app, where users can add tags to buildings via predefined

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the response.
1. Whether the building is permanent or not.

So non-permanent is a building structure constructed for a defined short period
