In general I agree with you. But I see the comment in opening_hours more like the description key which can (or should) be in local language. I also agree that it would be better to use a set of default English keywords in the opening_hours comment (which is then translated to the local language of the user by software) but for this to happen, we would need a proposal which describes some common keywords. Also this can be done in an later phase. I guess it would be not such a good idea if I start to retag already valid opening_hours in an automated way (without a dedicated discussion and proposal first). There are many mappers how don‘t fully agree with running bots on the OSM data. > > cheers, > Martin > > > *) the basis for our tagging are English tags, worldwide, so that people > can use the data easier, if we started to use localized tags in hundreds of > languages OSM would soon become almost useless or at least the effort of > producing even a simple map would become huge. The vast majority of the opening_hours syntax is standardized and can be evaluated: http://openingh.openstreetmap.de/evaluation_tool/ -- Live long and prosper Robin Schneider _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
