Translations in the app
-
Hi all!
Thanks a lot for all your feedback already
Really appreciating the positive responses so far and the constructive remarks.One specific topic I would like to be covered are the translations. As you know we are a Dutch company resulting in good word choices for Dutch and English.
However, we try to create the best translations possible but as non natives this can be quite difficult when not understanding the exact context. I've already received a remark that "Trajectory control" should be named "Average speed check" and another German user pointed out that some translations were way too complex / long causing the text to be cut off.
Therefore: if you have any feedback regarding the translations, let it know here!
@Corjan-Meijerink it was my comment re trajectory control and it’s true I was in a section of average speed cameras but I’m not sure if the app knows the difference between an average speed camera (where there are multiple cameras along a stretch of road) or a single camera that gets you in the moment.
What I’m really saying is I’m not sure if the words should be speed camera or if the system is sophisticated enough to know that it’s an average speed camera section.
Sorry for the long winded explanation but I wanted to be sure I hadn’t confused you.

@John-Davies-2 You haven't confused me at all!
I am happy with your feedback and already made the change (which will be applied in the next update). We do know the difference between an average speed check and a single camera. Single camera notifications are called "Speed trap"

Maybe the words Speed Camera would be more suitable than Speed trap.
They are referred to as cameras by the UK government, police and media even though they do trap people
I once disputed that it was me driving and then they sent this photo - I couldn't deny it then!
Always willing to help if I can.

En el pop-up "Trampa de velocidad" debería indicar "Radar" o "Control de velocidad"

Hi,
I can translate it in Romanian, if you consider it worths to add Romanian language.
It is not a must, English is super fine for Romanians, but if you ever want to, I am here to help.

Just a thought on the use of the term Speed Camera.
Other GPS devices I've used have stopped using the term Speed Camera and replaced with "Safety Zone", or "Safety Area", or simply "Hazard ahead", etc.
I believe this is in response to changes in French law a few years back that prohibits the use of Speed Camera detection devices and GPS systems that show fixed camera locations. If you're caught with these you can get hefty fines. -

If you're caught with these you can get hefty fines.@Matthew-Wiacek My TomTom still refers to them as Speed Cameras. You are correct about the French law not allowing precise locations of individual revenue
cameras, they have opted for safety zones, meaning anywhere between two given points of a safety zone could contain a camera. As far as I know, the data for precise locations of French cameras is not available.Always willing to help if I can.

So regardless of the name, it just is not allowed.
You can turn these warnings off in the app which means we as MRA comply. The user on their end should do so if required by law.
I always keep it on

@Corjan-Meijerink I think it's unwise to make statements about the law (especially of another country), unless you're a lawyer or judge, because it's easy to get wrong. BTW, not only France has these laws (since 2012), it's also forbidden in Switzerland, Germany and a number of other countries (all with potentially different rules and consequences).
I don't think what you are saying is true (for France):
- while it does not matter what it's called, it does matter how it implemented. For example: a zone warning (a warning about a section of road instead of an exact location) is likely compliant, while a camera-warning is not.
- a switch to turn it off does not necessarily make MRA compliant as far as I know, unless the switch completely and permanently removes the functionality from the app.

@Herko-ter-Horst Thanks! We do cooperate with HERE on these matters so I guess we'll do some more talking about this subject

for the Italian language there are some errors. where it is written STAI BENE you must write SVOLTA A DESTRA and the same will be SVOLTA A SINISTRA while where it is written LUCE ROSSA you must write TELECAMERA AL SEMAFORO.
Travel hours are normally indicated with the letter H and not with the letter O
then, as already indicated, the arrow is barely seen (under the indication of the speed limit) and often loses the gps connection even in open areas
