Key:alt_name:fr

An alternative name in French language. Note that it is only rarely useful:

• If object is in France and official names in other languages are not specified, then simply alt_name=* is sufficient
• If there is only one name in a common use, then name=* or name:fr=* is enough.
  • Using alt_name:fr=* when name:fr=* is not present is never valid

This tag can be used when a street, river or any other feature has another common name but there is some other alternative form. Like with alt_name=* it is preferred to use more specific tags like

• short_name:fr=*
• official_name:fr=*

if that is possible, as this tags provide more info about nature of the name.
