Wrong Persian translation of one useful category

Google Maps tips & tricks

Hi dear Googlers,

One useful category that we can find related stores nearly every where is Home Goods Store.

But currently it has wrong translation in Persian that means Appliance Store! Indeed both Appliance Store and Home Goods Store have same phrase (فروشگاه لوازم خانگی) in Persian categories while these are two different places.

Appliance Store (فروشگاه لوازم خانگی in Persian) is a place that sells electronic large things like refrigerator but Home Goods Store sells things those aren’t electronic in most cases and are decorative in fact, like flower pots, home shelves and etc.

So I ask please change the Persian translation for Home Goods Store. As we discussed in the Iran Local Guides community, best phrase that can represent accurate meaning of Home Goods Store is

فروشگاه کالاهای خانه

I really appreciate it @DeniGu if you can check and help in this case.

Thanks a lot

Obviously Persian is beyond me, but I would like to mention that the Home Good Store category is now well defined. I think it is used mainly for interior design stores (pillows, vases, dried flowers, mirrors, candles, decorative small furniture, etc). I think a rework is needed.

All the best

Yes @MortenCopenhagen It is well defined in English and maybe many other languages and you’re totally right about the usage.

But it has wrong Persian translation on the map.

Currently both Appliance Store and Home Goods Store have the same translation on the map (فروشگاه لوازم خانگی)! And definitely it is not true.

These may seem nearly similar but

In Persian language فروشگاه لوازم خانگی refers to Appliance Store only, and this is not true to use this phrase for Home Goods Store.

And for Home Goods Store it is better to change Persian translation to فروشگاه کالاهای خانه
