Language map

Posted by Dotevo on 4 May 2017 in English.

Regarding my previous Esperanto post I want to write something in English. I’ve created a map with names in specific language (a few here). And also I’m using a few not popular tags but I thing that should be important in future.

  • language:[LANG_CODE]=yes
  • books:language:[LANG_CODE]=yes

Why I think those tags are interesting and important? If you know place where a specific language is supported, you should add that information. It can be very helpful if you’re tourist (hotels) or you looking for something. Example in country X you are looking for book in language Y. What next? Movies?

For example, WAZE utilizes native language for information :name of location, street, etc. Also Alphabet. Gabriele
