Add observation - Automatically tagged my observations with incorrect names based on photo filenames

I changed it so it now only looks for taxa in the language you view the site in, files names with ob in them shouldn’t match Araneae b/c no one views the site in Tzotzil. Same goes for Nov, Mar, and Jun as mentioned in this post.

May is still a problem b/c it’s always going to look up scientific names, and apparently some extremely annoying taxonomist thought it would be cute to name a spider genus May. And even if they hadn’t made such an annoying choice, apparently a decent number of Britons throw semantic specificity to the wind and refer to Crataegus monogyna as “may.” I could just add a rule that says “ignore May,” or I could do something more sweeping and ignore all names that are three letters long or shorter. Thoughts?
