Description
I am a native speaker of English who lives in the Netherlands. In an effort to improve my Dutch, I export LANG=nl_nl@euro to get a Dutch language desktop, and when playing Scorpion in AisleRiot, I often use the hints function in order to memorize the names of the 4 card suits in Dutch.
The rules of Scorpion solitaire are that you can only place cards of the same suit on top of each other, but sometimes the hints say things like, "Verplaats de klaver drie naar de schoppen vier" (Place the 3 of clubs on the 4 of spades), which is not only not a legal move, but also not possible in the actual game I'm playing (the 4 of spades is not exposed, so I couldn't place the 3 of clubs on it even if it was legal to do so. The exposed card is the 4 of clubs)-- I took a screenshot, if it would be useful to attach at some point.
I did further testing (playing several games, and using the hints for every move to see if the translation was right). The errors I noticed were:
Verplaats de schoppen vier naar de klaver vijf (moet klaver 4 zijn) Place the 4 of spades on the 5 of clubs (should be 4 of clubs)
Verplaats de klaver drie naar de schoppen vier (moet klaver 4 zijn) Place the 3 of clubs on the 4 of spades (should be 4 of clubs)
Verplaats de schoppen vier naar de klaver vijf (moet klaver 4 zijn) Place the 4 of spades on the 5 of clubs (should be 4 of clubs)
Verplaats de klaver drie naar de schoppen vier (moet klaver 4 zijn) Place the 3 of clubs on the 4 of spades (should be 4 of clubs)
which quite obviously narrowed the problem down to a single card: the four of clubs (klaver 4).
I then continued to play using the hints, to see if the four of spades (klaver 4) was also being reported wrongly. It was not:
Verplaats de schoppen vier naar de schoppen vijf (goed) Place the 4 of spades on the 5 of spades (correct)
Verplaats de schoppen drie naar de schoppen vier (goed) Place the 3 of spades on the 4 of spades (correct)
Apparently both the klaver 4 and the schoppen 4 (4 of clubs and the 4 of spades) are translated to Dutch as schoppen vier (four of spades), so that hints relating to the 4 of clubs are translated incorrectly, but hints relating to the 4 of spades remain correct.
I have not seen this error occurring with other cards in the suit of clubs, or any other card of any other suit in the deck. I have not yet tested this in English, but I don't recall noticing any hint errors in English. I have also not yet tested this with other games in AisleRiot, or in any other language than Dutch (as I don't speak any other languages other than English and Dutch).
Steps to reproduce:
Play AisleRiot Scorpion in the Dutch language, using hints for every move.
Any hint that should correctly involve the klaver 4 (4 of clubs) will be reported as involving the schoppen 4 (four of spades).
Expected behavior:
Any hint that should correctly involve the klaver vier should be reported as involving the klaver vier.
