Leaflet Map with Cities in English in R
I am working on a Shiny application where I am required to plot positions of ships on a map. Currently I am using leaflet and the OpenSeaMap as the base layer on which I am plotting the positions (addProviderTiles(providers$OpenSeaMap)). However, when the map is rendered the various cities and ports appear in the local language as shown below:
That's not very useful as the users are mostly English speaking. Is there any way in changing the tiles to display only English names? I have already had a look at this. I am restricted to using the OpenSeaMap tiles only because of the traffic separation schemes displayed in those tiles.
If you have to stick to OpenSeaMap tiles then no, you can't change the language of the labels. Unfortunately these Labels are part of the raster images, they are not a separate layer.
However OpenSeaMap is composed of a base layer and a seamark layer (https://tiles.openseamap.org/seamark/). The base layer containing the map, city labels and so on is the OSM standard style and can be replaced by any other layer. So you can use a tile server with English labels plus the seamark layer on top of it.
If this is not a solution for you then how about adding an additional layer with English labels? So your users can at least switch to a layer with labels they can read, browse to the area they want to view, then switch back to OpenSeaMap tiles to see sea marks. Not a nice solution but it works.
