Nominatim: Administrative/State names - "translated" version not used? #2499
Comments

Author: twain The problem is caused by the relations not having a name:de version of the name only a 'name' version since the system currently has no way to determine the local language. Almostly certainly your browser language preferences are: de, en, etc... which results in the system looking for (in order): name:de, name:en, name so without name:de then name wins To fix this either the tag needs name:de or the system needs some way to determine the local language for every country. |

Author: washeck I was also hit by this. Do you have an idea how to determine the local language for the country and respect it in Nominatim? I don't think duplicating the tags with name="X" and name:de="X" is the way to go. |

Author: lonvia Nominatim now has default languages for each country. The list of language mappings is available [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/Country_Codes in the wiki]. |

I have some problems finding the right relation, but searching for "Lower Saxony" with language=DE finds:
"State Lower Saxony, Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Europa", "Administrative Lower Saxony, Bundesrepublik Deutschland"
The relation I found had name="Niedersachsen", name:en="Lower Saxony". Thus I had expected that it shows "Niedersachsen" with language=DE. However, I might have looked at the wrong relation (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/62771).
Similarly for "Hamburg": "Hamburg, Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Bundesrepublik Deutschland, Europa" -- Here, the word "Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg" appears twice - once in German and once in English. Here, the relation http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/62782 contains also name= and name:de=. But I do not understand why it appears this time in both versions.
