Hello, in our localized German map style we try to render Country names in German with local name in parenthesis.
This works fine for a lot of countries. An example would be Thailand: Thailand (ประเทศไทย) or (more readable for westerners) France: Frankreich (France) Unfortunately there are some countries where this will not work: Ägypten (Egypt مصر) So this is where the tagging discussion starts. I consider this a bad example of tagging for the renderer. English is not an official language of Egypt thus the string "Egypt" is simply invalid in the countries name tag. What I consider valid would be the countires name in all of its official langages. Thus the right one would be: Ägypten (مصر) So I propose a correction of all country names to names into official langages of the respective countries only and to remove all english names. Any objectives? Sven -- Um Kontrolle Ihres Kontos wiederzugewinnen, klicken Sie bitte auf das Verbindungsgebrüll.
