I need to download a clear outline map of China, however, when I zoom to include China and immediate surrounding countries the only English names that appear on the map are Chengdu and Urumqi. Is there some way to get basic English names, or for it to just say China? asked 20 Aug '13, 12:27 draklee |
The default osm rendering displays names in the local language, but other renderings choose to display other languages instead, like English. Try for example the mapquest rendering, by clicking the "layers" button on the right hand side of the osm.org map, and choosing "mapquest open" layer. There is also a proof-of-concept multilingual map by Jochen Topf. As always, the translated name must be available in the underlying data; please help if you can. answered 20 Aug '13, 13:42 Vincent de P... ♦ 4
