Multiple names and double work

Posted by onion on 27 July 2009 in English.

I don't understand why it's so hard for people to map properly in places with both Finnish and Swedish names. There are plenty of places with otherwise really nice and good work, but all or most of the Swedish road names are missing. Now someone needs to go trough all of them *again* just to make them properly complete. A big waste of resources that could have instead been used to map something new.
(And yes, I've done that too in the beginning before there was a clear way to tag other languages, but that is what.. 2-3 years ago already.)
