I changed the language to Spanish, of which I’m a heritage speaker, having commented on some observations in Spanish. Here’s what I noticed. Maples o Arces: Never heard “maple” in Spanish. Wiktionary says it is used in Mexico. Pueraria: There is a word “kuzu”, borrowed, like the English, from the …

Can you show us the combination of language and locality settings you’ve chosen? Screenshots would also help determine if this is a bug, a translation issue, or merely knowledge you didn’t have before…

[image] phma: Never heard “maple” in Spanish [7501200484087_A] Te lo juro, existe. Yeah, Spanish is so variable depending where you are* and heritage Spanish is going to be variant as well. It is awesome that you are able to comment in Spanish, very helpful. *the part of MX where I live h…

I’m unsure what the goal of this topic is, but the forum really isn’t for individual translation issues/questions. You can read about how iNat handles translation in some other forum threads (eg, https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/questions-about-the-translation-process-tool-crowdin/8632 ) or the Help f…

[guacamaya] [manyobs] Here are two screenshots. One shows both “Papagayos” used only for the genus Ara (AFAIK it means either all Psittacidae or all Psittaciformes", like “loro”) and “Y” versus “o”. The other shows lots of “añadió una identificación a una observación de”, but none ending in “tu”.…

Maple solo lo he oído en referencia al sirop de maple. Soy de la República Dominicana. Estoy de acuerdo que debería decir una observación tuya (your observation) También debería decir No hay fotos ni sonidos.

[image] phma: Y: Why is “Y” capitalized but not “o”? This seems like a bug. I assume that specific words are coded to not be capitalized (e.g. and, of, the) and those would have to be specifically programmed for each language? Other cases might have to be dealt with by negotiating the differ…

Are both taxon names and text like “añadió un comentario” on Crowdin? I just saw another suspicious taxon name. @tanker-aviator-naturalist observed a leaf of a tree called Platanus, which was called “sicómoro” in Spanish. I know this only as the name of the sycomore, a species of fig, and would cal…

[image] phma: Are both taxon names and text like “añadió un comentario” on Crowdin? Common names of taxa are managed on the individual taxon pages (not on Crowdin as for the general website translation) and can be set for region as well as language. They are user contributed. If a taxon name …

I flagged Ara and signed up on Crowdin. Can someone get me started? I’m working on a language that’s mostly translated, but there are some grammar errors and inconsistencies. Last night at church I asked some people about guacamayos y papagayos y loros. The pianist said que guacamayos no son loros,…
