Description
Hi All,
Unsure if it really falls under RFE or could be considered as a bug?
Problem is that when opening maps and going i.e. over Greece or any other country where non-Latin alphabet is used, all the city/street, etc. names are shown in local character set only. This of course has zero use for someone not able to read the alphabet.
The underlying Openstreetmaps has ability to show different layer of names - just couldn't find how to set it on Nextcloud.
Anyone knows? Tried first with community support though most likely this is not possible yet, as no one responded:
https://help.nextcloud.com/t/maps-international-names/200595
On pure Openstreetmaps it's"
int_name or name:en
Taken from:
