I am working on a map of a city in Cambodia. Unfortunately, the characters and names of nearly all places are all displayed in Khmer, which, despite being able to speak, I am not able to read.

I remember encountering this distinct problem and solving it once already over a year ago (around June of 2021) but I can't remember what I did. In the solution I found back then, I could use QGIS just like Google Maps with everything in the base layer translated to English or a transliterated form of Khmer in Latin characters which is also fine for me.

What I have tried so far:

  • Changing application language to EN
  • Check the global variable in the project (the language is set to EN)

I noticed in the following OSM wiki that there are a few providers of internationalized maps https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_internationalization but I do not know how to use those as my base layer.

To get additional basemaps in QGIS, including some with place names in english for Cambodia (e.g. Google Maps), run this script by Klas Karlsson in the QGIS Python console: copy the code, then go to Menu Plugins > Python console > paste the code > press the green triangle icon to run the code. When you now expand the XYZ tiles entry in the Browser panel, you find a lot of additional basemaps.
