However, every feature should also have English tag, so that foreigners can search the features and figure pronunciation. For example, OSMAnd mobile app has option to display features in local language or English (which I use when traveling to Greece).

0 Pedja (talk) 00:56, 6 December 2020 (UTC) - I strongly disagree with this voting idea. Name tag is not subject of voting but OTG rule. In Republika Srpska cyrilic aphabet is used officaly. You cannot vote it out of OSM.

Votes for Cyrillic / Latin

Example: name=Бања Лука / Banja Luka

-1 Ambraspace (talk) 08:05, 28 January 2021 (UTC) - I don't like duplicate names in name tag. It's very awkward.
