Description
Summary
When the language is switched to Hindi or Assamese, the Google Translate widget incorrectly translates tehsil (sub-district) names in the Revenue Circle dropdown, treating proper nouns as common words.
Confirmed examples (Kangra district, HP)
| Correct | Garbled |
|---|---|
| Siba | "Siba's chest" |
| Indora | "Ind battle" |
| Sulah | "Males" |
Fix
Mark all place-name elements with translate="no" attribute or add them to a Google Translate exclusion class (notranslate). Apply to all <option> and <select> elements containing geographic names.
