By recording each name in a separate “name:<code>=*” tag, database
users and map makers will be able to pick the best name for their
audience.
For example, a vector map on a smartphone app could show names in
the user’s language by default. But when the user selects a
feature by tapping or clicking, the name on the local language
would also be shown.
Wrong way around. The sane thing to do is show the local name,
because that's what I'd be looking for on signage.
Maybe, if I'm bored, I'd like to know what it means, but I'd have to
be bored because the chances are very good that
knowing what it means won't help me in any way.
Paul .. do you read sand script? I don't.
I would like a map that I can set to display either the local or another
language as an option.
That way I can easily read it, and use it. When I need to see it as it
is displayed locally then I'd change the display option.
Either that or learn a to read sand script etc.
