How to write an overpass request to get all the ways without name:en tag in a country?

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to download all the trunks, motorways and primary ways that don't have name:en tag in Iran. Can someone help me write a query that can download these data from OSM server?

Thanks.

What you need is the Overpass-API Negation operator.

Here is an example for trunk roads. BEWARE it returns a lot of data, so it may be better to run through Overpass rather than Overpass-Turbo, or change the area constraint to limit the query to individual provinces.

BTW: we've changed the negation in the most recent release 0.7.53 to make it a bit more user friendly:

Instead of ["name:en"!~"."] you can now also write [!"name:en"]

This will be available on overpass-api.de in the near future.
