English errors and spelling mistakes
All those who had the joy of spending a few days in France (come, when it will be reopened, it's beautiful and more friendly than you think ;) ) know that the French are really not particularly fluent in English.

Alas for me, English is not my native language and I don't speak or write it very much. Many translations of the site are therefore imperfect, even false, despite the task force that was set up to translate the site when it opened (thanks again to them!).

This topic therefore aims to list all the translation errors or inaccuracies that you may encounter on the site (graphic interface, presentation pages, etc.).

Please specify 1/ the original sentence and 2/ how it should be changed!

The current one I've noticed is when we go to someone's character page (not the encyclopedia), their pet's species is still in French.

For instance: cat is written as "chat", pygmy puff is "bouseflet", and owl is "hibou".

We have a number of translation issues from the old translation thread. I will pull over some of the translation issues:
Description of the problem:
This is honestly such a small thing that I feel bad posting about it, but the current wording used for pagination on the site is "# on #" (i.e. '1 on 3'). A more natural way of saying this in English would instead be "# of #" (i.e. '1 of 3').

Place on the website:
All forums, subforums, and threads with multiple pages

Image of the problem:
Image

Suggested correction:
on -> of
Description of the problem: Spelling error
Place on the website: All shops/Areas you can buy something
Image of the problem:

Image

Suggestion of correction: *Your basket is empty
Description of the problem: Types of pets are labelled in French.
Place on the website: On players' profiles.
Image of the problem: (click link)Image
Suggestion of correction: Possibly changing the coding to change the name of the item.

Translations:
Chat - Cat
Boursoufflet - Pygmy Puff
Chouette/Hibou - Owl
grenouille - frog
Source for crediting reporters I will unsticky the original and lock it with a link to this thread.

When you go to "MY RP" at the bottom of the page, and then click on "+ New Search"

The first word under the Search bar is 'Vous' instead of I believe, 'You'

And under the 'Only In' Search thing there are a few symbols I'm not sure what they are. (See highlight)

This is also found in the Sorting Settings in personal owelry (click letter img at top of page, the magnifying glass), and MY MESSAGES (click messages button at bottom of page), and the magnifying glass in the corner of every page. So I believe this is in any search section sitewide.

Not a language issue but it is a typo.

In the rememberall there is no space after a player's name. So Learin instead of Lear for instance.

Just a trick of the lighting they said...

Hello, so every pet translate is correct except pigmy puff... it says Boursouflet with I believe is French, right?

when collecting chocolate frog cards, ive noticed in the "xth copy" area, no matter what the last digit it is, its always "th", but if it ends in 1 it should be "st", ending in 2 it should be "nd" and ending in 3 it should be "rd"

I was just opening chocolate frogs and saw these for example, which should say 33rd copy, 31st copy and 22nd copy

An alternative statement to make for those cards might me 22 copies 23 copies, etc. Anything after one copy would turn into "copies" the plural.
