bad lexical data in the Romanian language translation used on reCAPTCHA
(I'm not sure if this is the proper place for this issue... but here it goes...)
please stop the crazy images that ask me to click on fireplaces but you are showing me chimneys instead...
That's like asking me to click on the images with live alligators but the only thing even remotely related to them in the images shown are some boots.
For years reCAPTCHA has been using an annoyingly bad translation for "chimney" in the Romanian language, probably because it uses the first translation that it finds in Google Translate...
The proper translation from English to Romanian for "chimney" is not "șemineu" but "coș de fum" and its shortened form being just "coș" when it's obvious from the image or narrative context ... yet reCAPTCHA with the Romanian language interface is asking me to click on "șemineu" and at the same time is showing me pictures of chimneys. (side note: "horn" is another possible translation, but it is only used in some regions of the country)
If you search Google Images for the romanian word "Șemineu" you will realise what it is actually supposed to be... (i.e. not a chimney)
Thanks.
