Wales in Welsh

[abigailbrady]

Someone has put up a rendering of OpenStreetMap in the UK in Welsh. Some of the data is dodgy, but I expect it will quickly be fixed now there is a practical reason to do this. Looks kind of weird having Welsh names for only some English cities (what is the Welsh for Milton Keynes? Heh. But surely there are Welsh names for Rochester and Manchester?)

update: added Welsh names for Plymouth, Bath, Manchester, Colchester, Lancaster, Salisbury. Corrected Tywyn.

I don't know of a Welsh name for Rochester (which is surprising, since it must have been around when they were running Kent). Manchester is "Manceinion (http://cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manceinion)".

You added those names, or they did?

Does the OSM format allow for a place to have multiple names by language?

This is great news :)

I the one who put up the render, the plan is to update it weekly as the new data sets are available.
I'm glad is prompting people to add the welsh names!
