> Info adds any information extra information to help to find which station it is [translations, disambiguation]

These are two separate use cases, which should have their own structured fields. The current uses of info:* seem to be very free-form at the moment.

If I want to travel to Cologne Trade Fair, I should be able to start typing "colo" and find it, without knowing that it's called "Köln Messe" in German. Whereas the info:* fields should separately have useful info, e.g. "Trains transfer from Cologne Main Station every few minutes."

Much like on OpenStreetMap, doing a name search should match against all name:* fields. Info fields should be for info.
