<p>Hi</p>
<p>I'm interested to learn the source you used for language codes
> &0x2F .</p>
<p>As far as I know Garmin only uses codes up to 0x2E</p>
<p>Regards</p>

First, note the attached file is in JSON format and is inherently
UTF-8.
<br>
<br>
Second, the file contains four sub-tables: point, line, polygon,
and language. The first three should be obvious. The language
sub-table contains the languages presented. I used the extant
codes for the extant languages mentioned in the mkgmap web
documentation. I arbitrarily assigned codes for the other
languages. Altogether, one hundred three languages are presented.
I used Google Translate and am paying for Google's services here.
Therefore, this is work-for-hire and I may give them away. Yes, I
readily admit some of translations are awkward or even incorrect.
There, I request consideration: I intend no offense and
corrections are welcome. I tended not to change Eurocentric terms
to American terms although in some cases I added the equivalent
American term. I expanded some of the phrases in hopes of
improving the machine translations.
<br>
<br>
Third, I feel that all urban areas should be treated equivalently
and I note Ticker Berkin's previous comments on that topic, the
translations reflect my preferences. I did incorporate Ticker's
most significant objection which I did find valid. Also, I feel
that an logarithmic scale is appropriate in this application and
that 3.2*3.2 is 10.24, which is about 10. This allows a good range
of population values.
<br>
<br>
Fourth, I am working on incorporating this material into the
default style and typ files, in particular the typ file.
<br>
<br>
Thank you,
<br>
