Scratch translation mistake?

Hi,
I think that ther is a mistake in the translation extension: if I write the german word “ja” (eng: =yes) In all languages (i testet) ther is the word and, und,…
I think this is a mistake so what should i do?
(sry for my bad eng. but i_'m from german…)

Maybe you should post about this in the ‘Bugs and Glitches’ forum.

This is not a bug.
“Ja” means “and” in finish.
Google translate (what Scratch is using) recognizes “ja” as finish, so it translates to “and”.
See here: https://translate.google.com/?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&text=ja&op=translate

Das ist kein Fehler.
“Ja” bedeutet “und” auf finnisch.
Google Übersetzer (was Scratch benutzt) erkennt “ja” als finnisch, also übersetzert er es in “und”.

Google translate isn't… the most accurate thing ever. I believe that is what is translating it, not scratch.

Scratch translation mistake?

When you set the language in more blocks, it just makes the accent different. I'm spanish, and I feel like Scratch is taunting me.

Ahah I'll start by welcoming you to the Scratch forum and in this case, the one about translations… I think it's better to open a new topic if you find a new problem and explain it well, clearly… But I don't think that what you say is really a problem, do you mean that the accent is not great in the text-to-speech extension provided by Amazon?
I agree that for French, the pronunciation is not great but I don't think this forum is adapted to point that out, we rather discuss the translation of the site and the blocks (not counting what the blocks do). And besides, I think we should report the problem to Amazon because that's what Scratch uses. Have a nice day/night!
