Setting: Set preferred language for Nominatim search results

Open KonfrareAlbert opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Could be a good idea that the user could make a list of preferred languages to show Nominatim results. The value of OSM tag «name» it's a problem for me if I'm searching sites in China or Russia.

xina

Example of configuration:

  • First language to show: Catalan (name:ca)
  • If not: Spanish (name:es)
  • If not: English (name:en)

Links: Key name in OSM Tag info, more tagged languages

That's also a very important improvement to the bot's results. If I search for something I need to be able to understand the results, so a list of preferred languages could be a very good solution.
