P: German locale - naming of "refine photos" less than ideal

Hi folks,

I sometimes use the "enhance details" feature available from the "photo" menu (Ctrl + Option + I). This is the feature that increases the pixel amount by 4x using Adobe Super Resolution.

Then there is another tool in the "library" menu, called "refine photos" which apparently helps with picking/rejecting. Never used it...

 

So the issue is that in the German translation of LRC, both functions are called exactly the same:

Enhance: "Verbessern..."

Refine: "Fotos verbessern..."

 

This is not only wrong (verbessern = improve, so correctly applies to first function "enhance", but definitely not "refine") but also very confusing.

 

Any chance Adobe will change the translation?

 

Thanks and best regards

John

    Thank you for your patience.

    Comments from the team:

    "Our German team agree to change translation for "Refine". As the „refine“ function indeed seems to be for picking photos (rather than refining a single photo), we suggest “eingrenzen” as an alternative translation (it backtranslates roughly to “limit selection” and no other Lightroom function has that name yet).

    We can leave “verbessern” in place as the translation of “enhance”, and we don’t need to change the translations of “refined” and “refinement” in contexts where they don’t refer to that specific function either."

    Lightroom Classic and many other Adobe applications are littered with poor or incorrect translations. 

     

    I'll move your post to the 'Ideas' forum, but don't hold your breath waiting on a fix.
