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

Sun Jan 11 06:34:09 GMT 2015

Hi Walter,

I see. Seems that the patch 
transliterate_filter.patch
was never committed. 

@Steve:
Maybe you forgot about it because Felix never confirmed that it works for him?

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?
