Lost in Translation

Don’t know if it’s the same on your phone but on mine if I highlight the text I get a chrome pull up on the bottom of the screen that auto detects and translates it. No idea how you turn it on/off but it must be somewhere in Google search settings.

I was C+P before I noticed it.

Should be called “Cheeks” or “Cheeky Mural” :rofl:

I seem to have problems with errors and whatnot if I take too long on an edit, maybe more than a minute. I mean I need to translate if the photos are not obvious. Also, I am surprised by how many photos have people and/or live animals in them. Had a dolphin stadium with an orca and/or people in every shot. Or a racecar stadium. A couple title edits of things that are completely in an unsafe location. I tried to figure out where they are but having problems :joy: Guess the road sign will stay.

Duplicates and notice board made up about 90% of my Japanese reviews.

Thanks, I don’t get that. Firefox, translate extension and https://wayfarer.tools/ is working great though.

Yes infoboards and duplicates are really big in Japan

Oh there’s a wayspot I’ve actually visited :slight_smile:

I’m rather taken with the glyph 門 which means “gate” or “doorway”. I must be well on my way to learning Japanese…

You’ll be speaking it in no time.

Japanese that is and not saying the Welsh town name. Nobody can do that.

The great thing about challenges is getting to see some of the cool wayspots around the world. I’d love to get this as a postcard

What am I supposed to do with these y’all?

With the recent published articles here I think we accept? The description is the supporting info really but doesnt seem too bad

Thanks.

The little I read about them seemed like a minefield of contradictory opinions mixed in with a few facts.

They make our trail markers look simple :us:

Haha!

From memory Niantic made a statement several years ago on the forum that these kinds of pools were ineligible for reasons but that was recently rescinded in the swimming pools criteria advice page published here, so now any pool that isnt at someone’s house can be eligible as a good place to exercise

Which makes way more sense to me!

Cheers, I probably should read all of those but swimming pools…

Just out of interest here are how my US reviews look. It’s maybe missing 50 that I did on chrome.

:thinking:

That is interesting. Is that a plug-in?

I got a public toilet in germany this morning with a rather interesting description that I won’t post for fear of getting flagged but you will know which one it was if you come across it. :rofl:
