What is the url query argument to set the language to English for all of the country names? I know there is a way to do this without logging in, but can't remember anymore.

You mean probably Wikimedia maps, which produce many language raster versions from OSM data: answered 01 Apr '19, 10:30 kocio What's actually the status of that project? I'd heard that the project completed. but is the data used for the maps up to date?

This is actually used in production (Wikimedia projects), see: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Maps https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Map_improvements_2018 I'm not sure what is actual data updating cadence, but looking at some cases I changed they look fresh enough (the road I added 2 months ago is visible).

In case you'd like to see bilingual names (en+local) using standard OSM Carto style, you can use this map:

There has never been a way to change the labelling of the raster layers on openstreetmap.org (there once was an experimental WMF-DE hosted service, which however is long defunct). There are some layers that use EN labelling, but these are in turn fixed to that. answered 31 Mar '19, 11:21 SimonPoole ♦ |
