Description
Currently, the Source field in the instrument detail page is translated into different languages, but there are underlying assumptions need to be discussed:
-
Source entries are assumed to be in English: If a user enters a source in another script, e.g., Arabic, that text will appear unchanged (i.e., without translation) in the English version of the website, while in other languages the text is translated to the selected language.
-
All sources are translatable: While translating certain sources such as
Wikidatadone perfectly and can improve accessibility, translating many others is unnecessary or even problematic. This includes titles of papers/books, website URLs, and similar items that Google Translate may alter inconsistently across languages.
