One thing that would be very useful is if you would offer a .osm file for download which would include all the place=country nodes so that one could mass-translate them in e.g. JOSM. You can do this making an OSM file whose contents are a concatenation of the various http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/node/ID where ID is the node ID.

As has been pointed out (in the "i18n-rich areas on the map" thread on osm-talk) the current editors for OSM data offer a very lousy interface if all you're interested in is contributing translations, since they aren't optimized for that at all. So direct uploading would be nice, whether that happens with a single dedicated bot user or through proxying of OSM user accounts (e.g. via the still-to-be-merged oauth stuff) would certainly be nice. IIRC The corrupted mass-import happened because someone ran the bulk_upload.py script on an OSM file without understanding how the bulk-upload tool worked. Granted if you offered an OSM file with all the place=country nodes you'd be morke likely to get that sort of (and other kinds) of sillyness as a result. I'd much rather see a click-through launchpad-like interface to translate arbitrary objects :)

2009/8/13 Peter Körner &lt;osm-lists(a)mazdermind.de&gt;de>: Montenegro is still missing from the list of countries, its node id is 445970763 and I only added it about two weeks ago because I noticed it was missing when adding some tags to all the countries. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/445970763 The instructions at the top of the pages could also mention the official_name:* tags - I don't know if these are approved in any way but I found they were on some of the nodes and I thought it was a good idea to propagate these too where the full name differs from the normal name the country is known by (which could otherwise be placed in loc_name, but it should probably be the one displayed by default) Cheers

Hi Peter, Peter Körner schreef: I see you created your own tool. Probably works just fine, but you might be interested in http://translatewiki.net : "Translatewiki.net is a localisation platform for translation communities, language communities, and open source projects. It started out with localisation for MediaWiki. Later support for MediaWiki extensions, FreeCol and other open source projects was added." Maarten

Once planet osm is re-imported, the database will be setup to handle regular imports of OSM .osc diff files using osm2pgsql. -Aude

Peter Körner schrieb: Update: I added CSV & GPX export and highlights for identical translations (when the name:xx-Tag is identical to the name-Tag). Also I added delete-support to the update-routine so that it should delete translations that are no longer in the osm-database. It should also delete nodes that are no longer flagged as place=country. I didn't have the time for intensive testing, so if you encounter any unexpected behavior, please just report this here. Each hour, right before the update, i create an sql-dump, so restoring the ok-states should be not too much trouble. Peter

Instead of password authentication, we may use the ident authentication option. This means that no password is needed, with postgresql instead trusting the authentication (ssh/key) that got you logged into cassini. This should work if users will access the database only locally, and we don't need to enable TCP/IP connections. As for why http://cassini.toolserver.org/~kolossos/osm isn't working, apache UserDir is set to have osm_public_html as the root web directory. You can create a symlink from your kolossos/public_html directory to the kolossos/osm_public_html directory.

Hi the outdated database makes the toolserver less useful to any tool out there (becouse it can't reflect changes easily). Do you have any plan when the main-db server could be up & running? I think I can wait until it's done (and i know it's done when it's done :), but on the other hand i see the toolserver & it's ressources in place and i got a bunch of ideas to use it, but this will not be possible with an not updated db.. I wrote my scripts in php and it's accessing the database via the pg_* functions. This "import from postgis" is only run once to fetch the list of all countries. This list is then written so a mysql-db on sql, from where the scripts pull their information. The hourly update-process checks the nodes in the mysql-db against the api (as this is atm the only way to get up2date information). I'm authenticating against the local postgresql-db with user gis and an empty password, the name of the db is gis. This information can be read from /sql/mapnik-stylesheets/osm-like/osm-de.xml by any toolserver-user, so i hope i'm not disclosing a secret.. You can get the source of my scripts here: http://cassini.toolserver.org/~mazder/multilingual-country-list/source.tar.… As already pointed out, the httpd on cassini is looking for /home/*/osm_public_html. I'll see if I can write this down into a usage-guide at the end of this weekend. Peter Tim Alder schrieb:

2009/8/14 Peter Körner &lt;osm-lists(a)mazdermind.de&gt;de>: Thanks very much. Maybe at one point we should have a script that combines the original OSM file and additions from individual map developers into a single file so that updates are easier, but maybe it just works fine even without something like that. Cheers Colin

Thank you for the bug-report, i'll check both bugs soon. Peter

I'm not sure if this will work as a change to the styles-file requires a complete re-import (it doesn't work with the diffs), but as I read even tiles.openstreetmap.org does a complete re-import once a week to fix complications with the diff-import, so there might be a chance.. Peter

We should remember that default tags can be edited by somebody later and they will no longer be good for other languages. (2) There is some inconsistency in default tags. Sometimes it's the English name, sometimes it's written in the Latin alphabet, local alphabet (e.g. Arabic) or both. I think Iran is spelt in Arabic, Comoros are spelt in both. Some people say Burma, some say Myanmar for various reasons. I think having explicit name:xx tags even if *at the given moment of time* it's the same as the default. That's said, I have added "name:pl" to "Polska" even thought it is the default name, too. Therefore having "name:de" == "Deutschland" is perfectly fine. In this case it actually indicates that the local official language is Hochdeutsch ("de" or "de_DE"). Therefore I would propose to remove "orange" tags from the utility - such name will be either "italic" or "orange" and never "normal". Both carry notion of something being wrong with the name. I actually wonder if the default tag is the right thing to have altogether. Probably better might be to use some fallback order (say, "en,de,ru" to be very European-centric) and displaying the name in italic in OSM (meaning "fallback language applied"). Some more intelligent fallback mechanism could be applied in the future (using user's browser preferences for example): - Browser says "Accept-Language: zh;q=1.0, ja;q=0.2, en;q=0.1" - this means "I understand Chinese (say Mandarin) and a bit of Japanese and some tiny English". For more details on that see RFC2616[2]. - The webserver sees that there is no "name:zh" but there are "name:en" and "name:ja". This user indicates it prefers Japanese to English. Actually in this case Japanese is much better option for the users since there are chances that the kanji spelling will be the same as Chinese, like, for example, 中国 (same in the Japan language and simplified notation of Chinese). But this would require on-demand application of the negotiated labels on the map and this technically might not be easy to be done in a feasible name (it would be difficult to create pre-generated tiles for different sets of user preferences).

2009/8/23 Peter Körner &lt;osm-lists(a)mazdermind.de&gt;de>: This fact speaks for both sides of the argument. If some feature's name changes (think, a street) you don't want to have to change 180 names in the name:*= tags. In the great majority of cases foreign names are based strictly on the native name. Additionally Burma is a pretty bad example because it's tagged incorrectly, the name= value should be using the native name and native alphabet, i.e. Burmese script, while right now it uses the english name. It's going to be fixed at one point. Cheers
