"sighted" term in review checkbox seems the wrong word
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Sometimes on on mediawiki.org pages I see

Re-review this revision
Accuracy:  [ ] Sighted

In English, "sighted" means "having functional vision; not blind. 2. having a particular type of eyesight or perception", so the translation isn't right.

I think someone used the Google translate of the German revreview-accuracy-1 term 'gesichtet' in frontend/language/FlaggedRevs.i18n.php. But Google translate is getting it wrong, since if I use 'gesichtet in a sentence such as "Bewertung wird überprüft und gesichtet", Google says gesichtet means "classified", which is probably closer to what the checkbox means. Unfortunately I don't know exactly what it means.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong bugzilla component for translations.

Yeah, it could be renamed to something like:

  • Plausible
  • Basic
  • Superficial

...or maybe:

  • Patrolled
  • Spot checked
  • Inspected

Change 78647 had a related patch set uploaded by Nemo bis:
Replace germanism "sighted" in review levels with an equivalent

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/78647

The original concept works well in some languages: not only German but also e.g. Italian, where "visto" (seen) means not only "visa" but also "approved" as in "visto si stampi" / imprimatur.

Changing the language of review levels would require a wider discussion, for now let's just adopt the closest equivalent proposed above, "spot checked". Alternatively we could use a simple "okay" or the mild "accepted" in use with the Translate extension; I've also added some docs.
