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

Sat Jan 10 23:25:25 GMT 2015

Hi Gerd,

here I found a mail from Steve Ratcliffe where this syntax was working.
    name:int!=* & name=* {set name='${name|ascii:} ${name}' 
http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Command-to-transliterate-Characters-Cyrillic-Greek-into-latin1-even-for-Unicode-maps-td5810132.html

Do you know any other solution how to use the transliterated name?

I only know the way to change the char code, 
but in that case the original name cannot be combined with the transliterated name.

Hi Walter,

I can't find any code that would implement the filter :ascii,
but I seem to remember that I saw it in an email.
Maybe as an proposion?
