Two category translation mistakes in Danish

Inspired by @JanVanHaver 's successful experience in getting the Car Wrapping Service translation fixed as described here, I would like to also test my luck! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

These two categories in the Danish list of categories:

Are written in what I suspect is Norvegian. Not in Danish.

The first one would be

Udlejning af audiovisuelt udstyr

in proper Danish.

The second would be

Offentligt webkamera

Fingers crossed these will also be fixed with in 2 months :crossed_fingers:

Thanks a million

Hi @MortenCopenhagen ,

Thanks for flagging what you’ve found! I forwarded this to our responsible teams to check.

In the meantime, I’ll move your post to the How-tos section of Connect, which is best for reporting similar issues. If, however, you have suggestions on how to improve a process in Google Maps, please feel free to share it in the Idea Exchange. Thanks again!

Good morning, @DeniGu and @JanVanHaver

Cheers - Standing Ovation - Cheers

These two translation bugs have been fixed.

Halleluja

Morten

It took two months. Almost to the date.

Excellent news @MortenCopenhagen ! Two follow up questions:

  1. Was Connect the only channel you used to point out this issue?
  2. Did they change it to what you suggested or something alternative?

I’m 97% sure I only gave the feedback here on Connect. In-app feedback and even the Maps Support forum almost never lead to successful outcomes for me.

Yes, I see “my” wording in the list of categories.

Cheers

Morten

Hi @MortenCopenhagen ,

You beat me to sharing the news! :smiley: But, as vigilant as you are, I’m not surprised.

Please note that I’ll mark your reply as the solution. This will create a green tick next to the title of your post, indicating to other Local Guides that the issue has been resolved. Thank you!
