During disasters, it will be helpful users to have maps in their own language. Co-ordinating hotosm activities for past two years in 2018 and 2019. We have added lot of data in OSM. To be useful in local areas it will good if can render the maps in local language. For example, http://map.hotosm.org is not rendered in Hindi. If a disaster happens in north India, people there need HDM style maps in Hindi.

I fully support this! It is very timely and important to allow for multiple worlds of knowing and being in the world by having multilingual maps. Thank you so much, OSM India for this initiative.
