Retrieve traditional Chinese entries from OpenStreetMap

Geographic Information Systems Asked on December 29, 2020

I want to retrieve both simplified and traditional Chinese entries from OpenStreetMap. E.g.

<node id="244082315" lat="43.558611" lon="126.228611" version="5"     timestamp="2014-01-21T10:07:18Z" changeset="20119519" uid="274857" user="Supaplex">
<tag k="name" v="永吉县"/>
<tag k="place" v="suburb"/>
<tag k="gns:DSG" v="ADM3"/>
<tag k="gns:UFI" v="-1936843"/>
<tag k="gns:UNI" v="6771391"/>
<tag k="name:vi" v="Vĩnh Cát"/>
<tag k="name:zh" v="永吉县"/>
<tag k="gns:ADM1" v="05"/>
<tag k="name:zh_pinyin" v="Yongji Xian"/>
<tag k="name:zh-simplified" v="永吉县"/>
<tag k="name:zh-traditional" v="永吉縣"/>
</node>

Retrieves the simplified entry:

http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=json&osm_type=N&osm_id=244082315&accept-language=zh

This does not work

http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=json&osm_type=N&osm_id=244082315&accept-language=zh-TW

How can I retrieve traditional Chinese?

One Answer

Just a guess but it seems like Nominatim doesn't know/support all language codes at the moment. However you can access node 244082315 directly via the OSM API.
