Or support regional renderings (buddhist shrines do not use the buddhist wheel in Japan, but thats what they get) You might know the French made their own rendering of OpenStreetMap data. They have a baguette for a bakery instead of the bagel icon. They also have decicated icons for their railway stations, mail offices, etc. It would be a good thing when e.g. the Japanese community would set up their own server, with focus on what they find important and with typical icons for their culture. When it would appear on osm.org <http://osm.org> as an alternative layer that would even be greater. regardsI have absolutely no objection to locals using their own language names for things but having different icons is surely not a benefit ?
It is to the locals. e.g. They may not see 'fast food' as a hamburger!
