Comment from mcliquid
May I draw your attention to this section of the OSM Wiki? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Changeset#Geographical_size_of_changesets
Thank you for future consideration.And is it legally allowed to use the Lexicon Nominum Locorum for editing OpenStreetMap?

Hi.
This looks like you are doing a mechanical edit (starting with cities in A-) to add names in latin, with more changesets to come. Not sure this is a good idea.
Another useful reading here before proceeding further: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conductSame concern as @mcliquid: unless the book is in the public domain or has been published under a compatible licence, it is not allowed to import the names you found there into OSM.
Also, the Belgian city of Aalst was already translated as "Alostum", and you changed it into Halosta. This is probably very futile, latin was extinct long before the town was founded.

Thank you for your feedback.
I did not intend to follow up with more changes, since (beside your concerns) I do not have the time or patience to do so. Having said that I don't think it is worth while to propose consider about the copyright or other matters.
I will manually revert the changeset, if you do not suggest otherwise (I do not use scripts since I do not feel qualified)
Thank you for your wonderful work on this platform.PS Latin was not only the language of the Roman empire. As is also written in the OSM wiki (under name:la) it was used well into the Renaissance. I have no doubts that most, if not all of the early documents of a IX century city like Aast were written in Latin.
In the XIX I was still used also in mathematics: eg. Gauss wrote all his works in Latin and refused to teach any other language. Also Latin was the administrative language of the Austro-Hungarian empire. I will not go on, since I think you get my point.
