support for other name tags

[jfirebaugh]

Reuse the UI for multilingual names to add support for alt_name, loc_name, old_name etc.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Name

Ideally the combo menu would have two optgroups, one with languages and one with "Alternate Name", "Local Name", "Old Name", etc.

Hmmm, I could see a UI working for this:

But then again, this kind of detailed editing might be best left to experts and the 'all tags' section?

[samanpwbb]

Actually... even better:

Just make the 'multilingual name' field a dropdown. This is a little subtler, but still discoverable.

Not sure whatever such comments are useful here - but at least displaying alt_name would be useful and maybe would reduce problems of people adding multiple names in name tag.

[matkoniecz]

Also, showing old_name would be very helpful - currently iD mappers almost never keep old name in old_name tag on change of street name, what requires cleanuping their edits (example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/110016712/history#map=16/49.9585/18.7104 ).

Per #5314, int_name would be useful especially in parts of the world where non-Latin writing systems are commonplace.

Is anybody interested in working on this issue? I ask myself at the moment why there aren't any developments here.

[matkoniecz]

why there aren't any developments here

Because nobody worked on it so far. Are you interested in making pull request solving it at least partially?

[Elefant-aus-Wuppertal]

I see, thanks. I'm not experienced in making pull requests and those things, but maybe I can learn about it...

This is waiting for review in openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema#215.

openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema#1288 implements most of the fields mentioned in the original post. openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema#1288 tracks old_name=*, which is not yet implemented. openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema#1289 tracks int_name=*, which was proposed in an issue duplicated to this issue.
