@ika-chan! here you have a concrete example where transliteration was a bad idea. Your transliteration was IVI but the official int_name is HBH according to their website https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2786684222 if somebody was looking for HBH (with latin characters) the search would give no re...

♦242
I think OASA telematics is wrong on that one, because neither the sign or ISO 843 transliterates "ΗΒΗ" to "HBH". ISO 843 transliterates to "IVI" while the sign on the ground says "IBI", which I think is a proofreading error.

I'm not sure what you mean "on the ground" because the bus stop signs only have hellenic alphabet.... I'm using OASA telematics because you prompted me to!

♦242
The bus stop in question has the new telematics sign with a transliteration under the display: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=155682059852880&lat=38.047122179108&lng=23.807580644422&z=17&focus=photo&x=0.9192711115323823&y=0.4626969546625346&zoom=2.9381096328510843

I see. So we're supposed to make a survey for each and every bus stop? There's still a lot of bus routes which have changed after they were put on osm. I cannot ride all these buses and survey the spelling of the stops. For now I'd rather just copy telematics, and copy them again late...
62025-04-15 15:11nikospag No you dont need a survey.
We ALWAYS follow ISO 843 for transliteration.

Hi there, I kindly request that you be careful to ensure that the road numbers and formats are correct: you can discard the nat_ref value if it is wrong (the main motorway is numbered the A1 instead of the EO1).
22019-04-27 21:19nikospag You are right. That was happened because those ways had both nat_ref AND ref keys. It is supposed to be one OR the other and not both. So my mass edit just converted the existing nat_ref=E.O.1 to ref=E.O.1.
