Hi, I’m a new user to openhistoricalmap. Is there a way to make it so that all the countries have an english name?
If you use embed.openhistoricalmap.org you can see the elements with their English name if they have one (you can also change the language and date from the URL).

We’re also working on enhancing the map on the main homepage to use your preferred language everywhere:

Last piece from #481 is to modify the front end to load the name key that matche… s a user's language.
Here's @1ec5 s year-old notes from 481:
> Pick out the relevant changes from https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/pull/4042, specifically the parts that install Mapbox GL Language and configure it to prefer [the logged-in user’s language preference](https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/preferences).
More recently, Minh did the work on the embed site to make Mabox GL Language work. This was a little tricky, so reference his code:

Thank you very much sir, I’ll be using this from now on
