<![CDATA[GoogleChrome "translates" French places?!]]>A weird one! I am zoomed in on a part of France. Some placenames seem to have been (mis-)translated into English!

Example: "Rennes" has become "reindeer", and right next to it there is a place called "Windows".

Clicking an untranslated place does what is expected: shows the forecast ribbon. Clicking a translated place does nothing.

It looks like a glitch; I can't reproduce it. It just happens sometimes. I am filing it as a bug report because it is unexpected behavior.

If you want to see city names in your own language, you can switch languages in the settings.

But you do now know about it. So, maybe an entry in a FAQ somewhere?

If you do not want to see the incorrect city names, do not use the Google Translate extension.

Just in case the above does not work: https://photos.app.goo.gl/iTM88BhMDNB8owsy6

By the way I was not aware that Google Translate was active at all on this site. I don't recall turning it on. Maybe Google was trying to be "helpful" in the background?
