@lyx You make an excellent point regarding documentation. I would love to get started on that. My specialization in uni was Arabic, and I also tried to get involved in open source software translation for a while. I would love to work on that and get to know the Arabic-speaking user base.

@amm You would think, but it is very inconsistent. Since you seem to be in the know, I assume you mean the name: tag is the one that will be rendered, and name:en and name:ar are for the locale toolserver bits and locale-specific tools that understand the OSM backend format? It appears that none of my names rendered yet, which could be a good thing, seeing as I have by default only played with name:en and name:ar. Thanks for the input!
