Doubt about placing accents and commas

Doubt about placing accents and commas
Good Morning,
I live in Brazil and I'm putting a lot of photos on Alamy, my doubt is about the use of accents and commas in the names and descriptions of the photos, in Brazil many words use accent (^, ~,) and commas (,).
Can I write everything without an accent and commas?

Yes the search engine ignores special characters as there are none in English although it does not do any harm either to put accents. Not sure what you mean about commas. You would need to give an example. 

 

If location is important, make sure you put in the caption and the keywords (tags). Having accurate locations in the captions and keywords might give you an advantage if anyone is looking for pictures of specific places in Brazil. You don't need to max out the number of tags either - just use relevant tags.

.... there are none in English....

 

Plenty in Scottish Gaelic mountain names though..!  😀

 

I always include them but if there is any ambiguity (as there often is depending on which map I'm using) I will include other variations.

 

No problems about using commas in the captions but of course in keywords they will be interpreted as separators.

Yes of course, the commas would be misinterpreted. And yes each vowel in Gaelic has a long and a short form which is what the accents are for, effectively given 10 vowels. They are important in pronunciation.

Thanks for the answer, in the case of the commas example:
Here is an example:

Plate with olives, salami, meat and glass of wine
Above the example of how we write in Brazil, with commas between the words
In the case of other countries, I do not know how the separation is made.

Thanks

Ok it is fine to use commas in the captions but not in the tags as Vincent pointed out as they would be interpreted wrongly.

That's exactly how we would write it here.

 

and a glass of wine is exactly what I'm going to have right now....😀

Please do separate your keywords (tags) with commas.

bird,bush,lake,house,person,man...whether you do it before uploading or after in Image Manager.

If you do not use commas, you'll end up with one tag like this:

birdbushlakehousepersonman

 

 But yes, as you suggested is correct for caption.
