Hello,

We use our positron basemap and we like this in brittany!
But from somes years, the name of 3 region in France is in english.
Could you translate this in french like this?

Brittany => Bretagne
Normandy => Normandie
Upper France => Haut de France

Thank's

Best regards,
Loïc

Hello Loïc,

I'm outside of the CartoDB project but I have the same issue with the names being in English.

The twist: it's not that there are names missing in French, it's that the whole data for the map is in English.
The regions that appear in French simply don't have English names so they keep their French names.
Case in point: if you look for Dunkerque, it appears as Dunkirk.

If you're still looking for a grey-tone map in French, there are a few tile sets created with OpenStreetMap in French - have a look at the official OSM website :)

Cheers,
Anne

Hi Anne,
Thanks to your response.

Since this time, we use osm from datagrandest https://osm.datagrandest.fr/ or our plan in geobretagne.
