Incorrect Dutch translation: "Auto" translated to "Automatisch" (line 269)

[bryanniice]

Describe the bug

There's an incorrect translation in the Dutch language file (translations/nl/formie.php) on line 269.

Current translation:
Auto' => 'Automatisch',

Expected translation:
'Auto' => 'Auto',

Context:
The word "Auto" in Dutch means "car" and should not be translated to "Automatisch" (which means "Automatic"). This causes issues when using "Auto" as a checkbox label or field value, as it gets automatically converted to "Automatisch".

Steps to reproduce

1. Set Craft CMS language to Dutch (nl)
2. Create a Formie form with a checkbox field
3. Use "Auto" as the label or value
4. The label will incorrectly display as "Automatisch"

Form settings

• Multi-page form: No
• Submission Method: Ajax
• Client-side Validation: Yes
• Custom Form Templates: No

Craft CMS version

5.18.19

Plugin version

3.1.5

Multi-site?

While I'm absolutely not a Dutch speaker, from what I understand from your explanation, I'm not sure if we want to change that?

The only places in Formie where we use Auto as a string are when we're referring to something being an automatic or default choice. Typically, when we're providing the option for Captchas to select the language used on the front-end. It either automatically detects it based on the locale of the site, or you pick one.

In that instance, wouldn't we want that to retain as being translated to Automatisch, or "automatic"?

I totally understand that you might be using "Auto" on the front-end, and that's an actual word in Dutch that you wouldn't want translated. I suppose that's where Formie's translations get a little tricky, in that we provide front-end translations for user-defined content like field options, due to our lack of multi-language support.

All I can say for the moment is that you add your own translations/nl/formie.php file for your site with this "fix", although you'll have to live with "Car" being an option in the control panel when you're picking a Captcha's language...
