Machine translation can be wrong. You can correct any string yourself.
Steps#
- Open the translation editor for the site and language.
- Search for the text and edit the translation. See Edit in the dashboard.
- Save and publish. See Publish your changes.
Stop it happening again#
- Add brand names and key terms to the glossary. See Glossary and do-not-translate.
- Mark text that must stay as it is. See Mark content not to translate.
Text you edited by hand is not replaced by a later machine run.

Thanks for flagging that. Machine translation can get things wrong, and you can correct any string yourself in the editor: search for the text, edit it, save and publish. Corrected text is not overwritten by later machine runs. For names and key terms, the glossary keeps them consistent from now on. Steps: [link to this help article]. If you send me the page address and the text, I can point you to it.
