I found some terms in presets.yaml like this: aeroway/helipad: name: Helipad terms: "helicopter,helipad,heliport"

it is for search?So I can translate it

Yes, see the Translating section in CONTRIBUTING.md.

You do not need to translate the search terms literally -- use a set of synonyms and related terms appropriate to the target language, separated by commas.

hanchao commented 11 years ago

this terms is similar,not easy to translate.

jfirebaugh commented 11 years ago

Your translation doesn't need to be the same number of terms as English. Use the terms (synonyms, related words) that make sense for your language.
