[mkgmap-dev] Styles, typ and multiple languages

Hi

I prefer:

  --name-tag-list=name:en,int_name,name,place_name,loc_name

for most maps, but where the country frequently has parallel naming in
a European language, eg French for Morocco, I use: 

  --name-tag-list=name:en,int_name,name:fr,name,place_name,loc_name

Adjust above for your own language, but probably leave name:en in the
list anyway
