Around the time of the Toolserver shutdown, WIWOSM started fetching tiles from the tiles.wmflabs.org/osm-multilingual tile server. But as far as I can tell, it only supports de, en, fi, fr, pt, and ru. For other languages, it seems to return only a few tiles that had been generated before the switchover.
Are there plans to extend this service to the wide range of languages supported by the old multilingual tile server? In particular, openstreetmap.vn and the OSM gadget at the Vietnamese Wikipedia both make use of the multilingual tiles, but now most Wikipedia articles end up showing the default OSM tiles.
Hello Mxn, the multilingual maps works in principle in Vietnamese: http://a.tiles.wmflabs.org/osm-multilingual/vi,_/5/17/10.png But it's not optimized or prerenderd in the moment. I think we have to work on this topic in the next time. I think we have to talk about different topics: *Use a transparent overlay or a full base layer? *We have to optmize the database, with additionally indexes. *if we would work with vector-tiles on the server, it would improve the performance dramatically.
So surely we have multilingual maps in mind, but it will take time (weeks or months) to optimize it.
Greetings Tim
