OSM in Morocco uses the `-` (dash) as separator. (they have two and
locally three national languages)
I'll try this for the Gulf of Venice and Trieste, and see where we
land. I will not re-edit if someone changes order nor removes content,
but I might choose to comment on any subsequent changeset, possibly also
alert the DWG.
regarding the seas where the `name` has disappeared altogether, I will
not put English back: I will choose a couple of languages, and invite
other native speakers of bordering countries to add their own, and to
see for themselves if the name is becoming too space demanding in the
rendering.
I will do nothing for areas where they speak a language I can't even
read (East Asia).
-------------------------------
placing a localized version of the name tag in front of the
corresponding language area is still an option I support. Red Sea would
be a nice test-bed, just like the Ostsee.
Adding a language name to the URL schema does not look so difficult to
me, what's going to be difficult is paying the money needed to hold the
data.
anyhow, stop me if you think this plan is nonsensical.
