alt_name and old_name not working as expected in Inspector

[Heinlein1115]

Hi OsmAnd developers,

I'm experiencing an issue with alt_name and old_name tags not being displayed correctly, or seemingly recognized at all, by the Inspector.

I've added these tags to several features, but when I use the Inspector to examine them, the alternative and old names don't appear. I'm not sure what's causing this issue.

Is there a specific way to debug this using the Inspector or are there any logs I can check to understand why these tags aren't being picked up? Any guidance on troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your quick reply.

I'm using a custom map derived from the Guinea-Bissau PBF file: https://download.geofabrik.de/africa/guinea-bissau-latest.osm.pbf. I convert this PBF to OBF using OsmAndMapCreator.

The issue arises with long alt_name values, such as the one present in the history of this way: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/374250236/history.

After converting the PBF to OBF, I've tried the following inspector commands:

inspector -vmap -vmapobjects -vstats guinea-bissau-latest.osm.obf >guinea-bissau.csv

inspector -vmap -vmapobjects -vrouting -osm guinea-bissau-latest.osm.obf >guinea-bissau_routing.osm

However, neither command's output seems to reflect the alt_name values, making it difficult to verify if they are being correctly parsed and stored, especially the long ones or if the character encoding is being preserved. Could you advise on how to properly inspect for these alt_name values using the inspector with a custom OBF map file?

alt name and old name are not indexed as they are not displayed for the map. so it's required to create custom maps
