MLGT-General: Inconsistent behavior for "Entry Status" and "Term Classification"

[ronaldtse]

In these languages, the operational language is used for these two fields:

• Spanish
• Russian
• Finnish
• Chinese

In all other languages, English is used for the representation of these values.

e.g.
"Entry Status [OPERATING LANGUAGE]
Data Type:
Must be one of 'notválido' 'válido' 'superseded' 'retired'."

"Term Clasification [OPERATING LANGUAGE]

Data Type: Character String
Must be one of the following: 'preferente', 'admitido', 'deprecated'"
"

(And there's a typo for "Clasification" for all sheets).

Strongly suggest we only use English for these status values.

The consequence of this is that the "Entry Status" and "Term Classification" fields are wrong for these 4 languages. We could fix the parsing, but the Excel sheet will still be inconsistent.

these issues should be checked and fixed in the MLGT spreadsheet before you try to modify the parser for any exceptions. however if you just need testing data for the site just update what you have to populate the db for the site. Ronald Tse wrote:

Agree, will wait for the outcome of the MLGT discussions!

[ronaldtse]

@ReesePlews is it possible to change the localized values (e.g. Spanish 'notválido' 'válido' 'superseded' 'retired') to English for these entries in the next issue of the MLGT?

Thanks!

I've found the following inconsistencies in the MLGT, and have updated the code to reflect to the best of my knowledge.

————
Entry Status
Data Type must be one of
‘notValid’, ‘valid’, ‘superseded’, 'retired’.

Russian

действующий => valid
информация отсутствует => Google Translate says it means “information absent”. What state is this?
(more information: https://context.reverso.net/translation/russian-english/информация+отсутствует)

—————
Term Classification
Data Type must be one of the following
‘preferred’, ‘admitted’, 'deprecated'

Finnish
suositettava => Recommended
suositeltava => Recommended

There’s no superseded or retired? Are these two terms equivalent?

Spanish

adminitido => “Administered”? What does this mean?
admitido => “Admitted"
