Issue

The English localization now calls all circular junctions “roundabouts”. There is no longer a quaint BosWash distinction between classical roundabouts as “traffic circles” and modern roundabouts as “roundabouts” (which in practice meant roundabouts were always called “traffic circles”).

Fixes #188 and reverts #179.

Tasklist

  • Modernize English vocabulary
  • Add changelog entry
  • Test with osrm-frontend (?)
  • Review
  • Test drive around and around

Requirements / Relations

Same as #256, plus one year and minus the American English overrides. If an American English localization mechanism is needed in the future, we can resurrect that part of #256.

Some languages like Esperanto will need to be updated to use the more usual word for “roundabout” instead of a literal translation of “traffic circle”: #188 (comment). But that can happen independently of this PR.
