Hi,

The post_box:type Wiki page [1] was created two months ago and the key was added to the JOSM preset recently [2]. That means that the values show up in Launchpad for translation. The "meter" type in particular is hard to translate as it is not clear for non-UK citizens like me what that type refers to. The Wiki page states that post_box:type is about the physical style (size/shape) of the post box, but "meter" refers to the type of mail the post box is intended for. What would be the value if there is a pillar box for meter mail in some country? Any ideas how this can be improved? There is no word for "meter" in my language and the translation would be either incomprehensible or too long.
