I get several messages (comments) that for certain changes and additions the French, English or German translation would not be correct.
The 3 boxes F-E-D are automatically filled in by LD. I think it is better to get rid of those three different language boxes because the system is not satisfactory. In my opinion, it is certainly not up to the user on LD to correct (retype) the translations. I think anyway.
In any case, the autofill should disappear if that is so problematic.

Alternatives?
- a translation module where the user must explicitly indicate or retype the appropriate translation. This assumes that you as a user must be four-lingual in order to indicate (or add) the correct translation. A proper additional preparation for the user to add, or change, item using other sites, and / or dictionaries,
- one box, in English. No more Dutch, French or German in the title. No more hassle regarding translations. May also be in a world language. Spanish and Chinese are larger in terms of language group in the world, and in the European community English has become only a minority language since Brexit,
- no more 'Title' box for the user. Then it is up to the administrator to come up with and add a title in the four languages, type it in himself. Immediately the problem of confusion, as in the example of Morits (in another thread concerning Argentina) has also been solved.

There may be alternatives. Let yourself go and comment on the forum :)
From pure chaos sometimes the most genius structures emerge.

I assume that you are specifically working in the Stamps section.
To begin with, not all sections have a Title in 4 languages, this is a choice per section. It is indeed correct what you write: either a user is four-lingual, or you sometimes get very funny things (I know from other posts that you also like crazy things, but I cannot immediately find an example because I always adjust them).
The input page is still the old version, the forum is new and can be translated. New technology? Collector or someone from the developers will know more about that.

Not all fields are automatically translated.
Please send me a few examples where things went wrong.

eg. # 3979309 and # 3700999

When transferring Fantasy Land to the appropriate box (nnn - Cinderella) I make sure that both in the title and in the series name the reference to the (pseudo) area is removed. And / or that the title and series names coincide within a 'series'. That must be according to the manual. I also always make the effort to first clear the boxes in other languages so that the 'automatic' translation machine can do its job. And a number of other boxes as far as possible. Quite a job.
But it often goes wrong with the title in the other languages. I don't check those translations. Who am I to take on a machine (AI) :) If the machine sputters, that's a problem. In Dutch it is normally good when I have visited. I will not be bothered by the foreign language boxes afterwards, but if they contain nonsense, I am in favor of getting rid of those boxes.

If I put 'Animals' in the title, it will go well. However, if it concerns a series with two fish each time, the title 'Fish' seems a bit more convenient to me. Perhaps the title for all stamps (and stamps) should be simply 'Image' from now on. Then the translation machine can handle it, I hope. And that always covers the matter. There is always an 'Image' on a stamp.

That is the disadvantage when a word in Dutch has several meanings.
Fish are animals, but it is also a verb and then it automatically becomes fishing. So it remains important to check the automatic translation.

And then you forget the zodiac, where the English should not be Fish (or Fishes), but Pisces .

Is my suspicion confirmed that NL is first translated into EN and then EN into FR-DE? Then you get this # 373607

How does Oscar II become in French? 'tu as' (2nd person), 'nous avons' (plural), 'J'ai J'ai' or 'Jay Jay' (there is music in it)? lol

Then I would rather expect from 'Oscar I' only 'Oscar je', because why 'I have'?

Tried to reproduce this with google translate, but then you don't get this effect. Even if you enter a new item item entitled King Oscar I.

It is the use of Roman numerals, which is not translated properly (sometimes yes, sometimes not). Was a problem especially at the beginning of Catawiki. I come across now and then. With George VI, the VI is not detected as a "number", but as a "word". Then just correct manually.

Strictly speaking, yes. One is 1 seal and the other is 5 seals. It is up to the stamp managers to determine why other "combinations" may remain and not count as duplicates.
