Alternative localized Maki set #467

Closed tristen closed 4 years ago

tristen commented 5 years ago

Japan has standard symbols (called chizukigou) to represent things in the world. An alternative localized set would serve as a counterpart to Maki icons where - if you are in Japan - they are used in place of the standard version.

Here's a quick list of localized versions to Japan we could start with:

Maki Japanese version Reference
bank bank-JP link
castle castle-JP link
fire-station fire-station-JP link
landmark landmark-JP link
hospital hospital-JP link
police police-JP link
post post-JP link
school school-JP link
religious-buddist religious-buddist-JP
cemetery cemetery-JP link

@tristen shrine is changed to religious-shinto in https://github.com/mapbox/maki/issues/470#issuecomment-512695642. Will religious-shinto have both a regular maki version and a -JP Japanese version?

@lily-chai Good question. Good question: it will not. The regular Maki version should visually match any -JP version so there's no need to add value for it.
