Former discussions

Shorter text in Rendering field

I suggest change the text of rendering field in all languages (I changed only in Portuguese) from "openstreetmap-carto" to "osm-carto" so this way don't mess the table. Example actual/suggestion:

Rendering in openstreetmap-
carto
Hospital-14.svg
Rendering in osm-carto
Hospital-14.svg


Probably we could use something even more simple, shorter and more translation friendly, like

Standard rendering
Hospital-14.svg

What do you think? Zermes (talk) 17:00, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

I agree with shortening it to osm-carto. If necessary, we could even flip it around into "Osm-carto rendering" to shave off a few more letters, at least in English.
Calling it "standard rendering" is something I'd rather avoid, because this label might be mistaken as an authoritative statement. That is, "this is how this feature should look on maps". --Tordanik 18:30, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
Resolved: I changed it some time ago. maro21 11:09, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

redirect proposal to keep discussion in one place

I propose to redirect Template talk:DescriptionLang and Template talk:DescriptionLang/doc/table Template talk:DescriptionLang/doc/table2 Template talk:DescriptionLang/doc/table3 Template talk:DescriptionLang/doc/table4 Template talk:DescriptionLang/doc/table5 Template talk:DescriptionLang/doc/table6 to Template talk:Description Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 05:51, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Ok for me —M!dgard (talk) 09:28, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
Ok, I suggest to do it with soft-redirects so that you can notice it. Sometimes I find it a bit confusing where I am, with all the Description templates. As far as I see, "table1" is just "table". --Chris2map (talk) 09:43, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Where to translate

I think it's not clear, even for me, where do these translations come from - from a template or data items? For example Template:DescriptionLang/doc/table7. If I know, I could add information about it, because for example this page appear in Category:Pages unavailable in Polish, but there are no translations in the source code of this template. maro21 22:46, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

The translations come from this template here (Template:DescriptionLang), see Template:DescriptionLang&action=edit. --Chris2map (talk) 15:58, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
