Inconsistency in spelling (british / american english)

Open eMKejTestingWarriors opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Description: There is a pervasive issue throughout the application where text content is inconsistently written in either British English or American English. This inconsistency affects the overall quality of the user experience and can create confusion among users.

Steps to Reproduce:

Navigate to data -> languages -> en.txt Observe the text content. Note instances where British English and American English are used interchangeably or inconsistently within the same context. Expected Behavior: All text content should adhere to a consistent language style, either British English or American English, throughout the entire application.

Actual Behavior: There are instances where both British English and American English are used, leading to a lack of uniformity and potentially confusing the user.

Impact: User Confusion: Users may be confused by the mixed language styles, impacting their understanding of the content. Professionalism: Inconsistent language usage can diminish the overall professionalism and reliability of the application.

br_en.txt

Attached file: In the file attached you can find instances of american spelling of words, and the british "translations". The file is in the form of: XX american_spelling = british_spelling where XX is the line of the first instance of the mistake in the en.txt file

For example:

9 armor = armour in line 56 in the en.txt file instead of "armor" you should write "armour".

Kind regards. M

Note: "who's" & "whose" have different meanings. "who's" is a contraction meaning "who is". "whose" is the possessive form of "who".

American English appears to be the consensus. Following are spellings to be converted:

  • [x] armour -> armor (no changes needed found)
  • [x] colour -> color (db0a6d7f1729fe886c5f85e3e1b9fcc2021badbc)
  • [x] courgette -> zucchini (8c089fa6c433b3e1ce89632468d701f1df4c286a)
  • [x] defence -> defense (07858d12ba9b32246fed116378be5ad5c17c2aef)
  • [x] favour -> favor (d2edc4720ab6cedfbd212ca7c7fc343df0e8178f)
  • [x] favourite -> favorite (bd4c169b9cb471c141d0cfa66e6cf51fa1f611cf)
  • [x] fulfil -> fulfill (5c0ee892a7f670bd58b83fef83b14e0c83ee89d0)
  • [ ] jewellery -> jewelry (may be complicated as is an item category)
  • [x] organise -> organize (39b604c8eccb4d5ab7d0be13599b665d74763ddb)
  • [x] organisation -> organization (no changes needed found) (39b604c8eccb4d5ab7d0be13599b665d74763ddb)
  • [x] recognise -> recognize (bedc1237460d0f0ee5b150680355b53b0e7b5f28)
  • [x] salad -> lettuce (item name referring the vegetable lettuce) (c173c26586616bd9832851197914eb190bd250f0)
  • [x] useable -> usable (only appears to be used in data type names, no in-game text)

Any others?
