Israel Gets Street Maps, Georgia Gets Towns
Google Maps has added street maps for Israel.
However, as you can see from the screen-shot above, Israel seems to be full of streets with no names.
That is unless you search in Hebrew. Then the names magically appear.
Perhaps Google don't have a Hebrew to English interpreter.
Google have now also added labels for cities and towns in Georgia. The Google LatLong Blog says that 'new data' for a number of other countries has also been added to Google Maps.

One of the 'other countries' seems to be the Isle of Man which now has street maps.

So you need someone to manually go over every street name and translate it accordingly. There is also the question of how to transliterate names - Hebrew to English transliteration has several conflicting rulesets, and how to translate descriptive street names (those not named after a person) - the "official" translation is often a transliteration of the Hebrew name.
In short - its a mess and going to take time.
Err this is a map of Israel and your arguing what exactly?
