vpics Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Don't remember what I was looking for, but I noticed that names of people e.g. celebrities called "Mary" are translated as "Maria" on Alamy's Spanish and German language sites. Personal names should never be translated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they are translated, sometimes not. I can't work out why Any idea why Mhairi becomes Nicole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
