Records contain name in multiple languags in one field

[missinglink]

What should we do with the segment after the #?

    {
      "type": "Feature",
      "properties": {
        "id": "39538:locality:be:bel:brussel",
        "layer": "locality",
        "name": "Brussel",
        "alpha3": "BEL",
        "admin0": "Belgium",
        "admin2": "Brussel-Hoofstad#Bruxelles-Capitale",
        "text": "Brussel, Brussel-Hoofstad#Bruxelles-Capitale, Belgium"
      },
      "geometry": {
        "type": "Point",
        "coordinates": [
          4.37345158212375,
          50.8384796702664
        ]
      }
    },

The # is a separate between language names (Brussel-Hoofstad and Bruxelles-Capitale)

[missinglink]

The actionable here is to search for and split on the # character and import all names, in lieu of language keys let's just say the first one maps to name.default in pelias and the others map to name.alt1 etc. (as per geonames)

For Sweden we will need to probably import qs_adm0 as the 'main' english name but also qs_a0 as the Swedish name cc/ @nvkelso

Sounds like we're just going to solve this when we move from Quattroshapes to Who's on First.

[nvkelso]

Agree that makes the most sense.

@thisisaaronland Is Who's on First still using "language separators#séparateurs linguistiques" for multilingual countries?

[thisisaaronland]

I am not sure I understand the question but if it is:

"Does Who's On First encode multiple language names for a place type in a single string?"

Then the answer is:

"Only as a by-product of a past import and those records will be updated to follow the conventions for naming things. [1]"

Does that answer your question?

[riordan]

That sure does answer the question.

Fixed by WOF, but should be resolved in QS

[nvkelso]

Side note: QS is no longer maintained, the WOF fixes won't be back ported.

[dianashk]

@nvkelso, sorry the last comment wasn't very clearly worded. I meant that it would still need to be resolved in QS manually in the future.

[riordan]

Issue still present in WoF (record).

Should be resolved with concordance + WoE words import.

[thisisaaronland]

Is there an open ticket or pull request (in WOF-space) that I've simply managed to space on?

[nvkelso]

I think there was a ticket to change the locality (which was done), but turns out more same-named elements in the hierarchy also need updating?

While we don't import Quattroshapes directly any more, this is still an issue that has been brought into WOF: http://pelias.github.io/compare/#/v1/search%3Ftext=Brussel-Hoofstad

[trescube]

Move issue to pelias/pelias
