[mkgmap-dev] Solution to show transliterated name if no other ascii name exists

Sat Jan 10 01:08:41 GMT 2015

For countries with foreign letters like Greece I want to show the int_name 
first.
For other countries I want to show the int_name in brackets.
If no int_name or other good name is found, I want to show the 
transliterated name.

Here is my code:

'name:de'=*                    { add mkgmap_int_name='${name:de}' }
int_name=*                    { add mkgmap_int_name='${int_name}' }
'name:en'=*                    { add mkgmap_int_name='${name:en}' }
'name:fr'=*                    { add mkgmap_int_name='${name:fr}' }
'name:es'=*                    { add mkgmap_int_name='${name:es}' }
mkgmap_int_name!=*                { add mkgmap_int_name='${name|ascii:}' } 
# Error: Expecting }, instead saw |
mkgmap_int_name=${name}                { delete mkgmap_int_name }

place=*                            { set mkgmap_place_name=no  }
place=* & mkgmap_int_name=* & mkgmap:country=GRE    { set 
name='${mkgmap_int_name} (${name})'; set mkgmap_place_name=yes }
place=* & mkgmap_int_name=* & mkgmap_place_name=no    { set name='${name} 
(${mkgmap_int_name})'; set mkgmap_place_name=yes }

According to the error message it seems, that |ascii: is not recognized.
Is this syntax wrong?
I found it via google but not in documentation, maybe it’s not yet working.

I hope somebody has a working solution for my usecase.
