1. A computer implemented method of operating a navigation system to provide a guidance message for traveling a route comprising road segment, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor, data from a geographic database associated with the navigation system identifying a feature visible from the road segment;
obtaining, by the processor, preferred name data from the geographic database representing a preferred name of said feature visible from the road segment, wherein the preferred name provides a visual description of the feature in a first language;
identifying, by the processor, a part-of-speech for at least two components of the preferred name;
converting, by the processor, the at least two components of the preferred name into a text of a second language according to the part-of-speech for the at least two components and a grammar rule of the second language to provide the preferred name in the second language, wherein the second language is different from the first language; and
providing the guidance message including the text of the second language.

Abstract
A method of operating a navigation system to provide a route guidance message for traveling a route is performed by a navigation system. A preferred name of a feature visible from a road segment is obtained in a native language from a geographic database associated with the navigation system. The parts-of-speech of the preferred name are identified and converted into a target language text providing the preferred name in a target language. A guidance message includes the target language text in the target language.

17. A computer implemented method of operating a navigation system to provide a guidance message, the method comprising:
-
obtaining, by a processor, data from a geographic database associated with the navigation system to identify a preferred name of a visible feature, wherein the preferred name is in a first language; identifying, by the processor, parts-of-speech components of the preferred name; and translating, by the processor, the parts-of-speech components of the preferred name into a target language and arranging the translated components into a target language text to provide the preferred name of the visible feature in the target language, wherein the target language is different from the first language. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
