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.
