    Until a renderer uses it—which currently isn’t the case—nobody will see it. At least not on a map. The reasoning here is mostly to still have it searchable under that name.

    ETA: See its wiki entry, specifically this part:

    So basically the name is added somewhere so it is searchable but never displayed

      I’m not sure about that “currently not the case”.

      I mean you can download the data from OSM, open it in QGIS, and make a custom map of your city. You could use whatever locale you wanted for names.

      My point is, any assertion that it’s not used by a renderer is false, because someone will inevitably use it
