Since this isn’t technically a bug, I’m going to close this topic and direct people to some of the relevant feature requests:
- https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/select-language-for-common-names/5430
- https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/run-job-to-associate-translated-common-names-to-places/3964v
- https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/allow-non-curators-to-associate-an-existing-common-name-with-a-place/11232
Please feel free to continue discussions in those topics.
For any further cases like the ones given in the original post, please flag the taxon and a curator can associate the name with the place.
