It is very common to have a translator mistranslate a similar character. Plus I often need to read what is in the photo in order to know which is the correct text, and a translator won’t do that. I review on desktop, and I search the photo with google to use the translate option there when needed, and I am still concerned that I may be missing some context.
You could have offered the advice that might be helpful to someone else without being nasty about it.
Oh yes. I know that is a possibility. I use Firefox. I remember translating my kids’ books when their French surpassed my own with my phone’s camera
I will have to look at the wayfarer tools. I have some of them.
So no reviewing from our phone and we have to use Google translate. Got it. My point still stands.
Sorry, there’s just no good reason not to implement tools on the Wayfarer page itself to make reviewing smooth and easy. Like, zero good reason.
I don’t have a laptop to use for this - I do everything on my phone. Luckily I just got a new phone (S24 ultra) which has some good translation options… but it seems like there are multiple languages so I’m skipping anything from Japan that is not in Japanese (or chosing the Japanese option if there is one)
I’m in the same boat, haha. Just doing my best without access to a computer. I’ve been using my phone and Google translate and haven’t had any major issues so far. If I come across something that is utterly confusing or I can’t decipher what’s happening or Google Lens isn’t helping, I just skip it.
I do agree though that a built in translation tool and the other nifty plug-ins folks are using would be helpful as the default.
But these are clearly nominations from years ago something the robots can pick off and I deal with actual current nominations before they get stuck in voting for years too.
200 irrelevant bulletin boards because there is one per apartment block, 70 evacuation maps with one on each street in the town, 30 altars in the back or side garden of the rural house, playgrounds of dubious legitimacy and almost all duplicates with the same main waypot photo because it seems like they submit the same nomination multiple times. ZzzzzzZ.
It is normal that there is a general delay in reviews in Japan…
but caused by themselves…
I don’t think so. If these are nominations that are still in the system after being decided then we will not get agreements by rejecting or duplicating them
