- Note, most uses of this tag are tagging errors.
- Use the
alt_name=*tag to provide an alternative object name. - In German-language areas, this is sometimes used for
old_name=*and should be replaced by that. - The Southern Altaic language is written in Cyrillic, so all other writings are tagging errors.
Note that this tag is useful when an object has names specified in more than one language:
- If
name=*is in Southern Altai then it specifies which language is used in the main name tag - If
name=*is in a different language then it specifies the name in Southern Altai
