Hi mueschel -- in this changeset (and maybe others?) you modified some destination:street:fr/en to destination:street:lang:fr/en. I am curious about your reasoning? We discussed this in the talk-ca mailing list a little while ago (see https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ca/2017-October/008073.html and the
rest of that thread) and the consensus seemed to be that destination:street:fr/en was preferred. Do you mind if I changed it back to what the community seems to prefer? Thanks, Martijn (mvexel) -

Hi,
well, the Wiki specifically asks to use "destination:lang:en", to make clear it is a language.
As example: destination:street:to - is this a street further away (like in destination:ref:to), or is it a Tongan street name?For me, this points to that this syntax should also be used for other destination-subkeys.
There are e.g. destination:to:lang:en and your destination:street:lang:en.

I see that you added a few lines to this page in October promoting destination:street:en, but this was never discussed on the Talk page of this proposal. A local mailing list might not be the best place to discuss such issues with influence on global tagging. E.g. there are some destination:street:lang:en also in Asia. These are few, mainly because street names are not commonly used as destinations in Western Europe.Concluding: Yes, I would mind if you change it, because it wouldn't fit the rest of destination tagging.

Ah, okay, I see. That aspect did not come up in the discussion. Since this seemed to be a pretty uncommon case (at the time I did not find more than a handful cases worldwide) I found it appropriate to discuss on the country list where we were editing (we being Telenav). As long as it is consistent either way is fine with me.
The fact that it was never discussed on the Talk page does not really resonate with me; destination:lang was not discussed there either. I do appreciate your argument for reducing ambiguity by inserting the lang: qualifier.
