Place label translations

edit

The Mapbox Geocoding API uses Wikidata as one of the data sources for the location of places which include countries, regions, cities and towns. Adding translations of place labels in multiple languages automatically helps the API support more languages across the world. The Mapbox data team supports this work by translating Wikidata items of world places into popular languages. All strings are checked by professional translators in the native language and uploaded by this account using the wikidata-label-upload scripts.

If you notice any quality issue in the translations or feedback to improve the process, please get in touch with Arun Ganesh arun@mapbox.com
