Forum Member Customers Translator GenoPro version: 2.5.4.1 Last Login: Friday, May 10, 2013 Posts: 43, Visits: 238	While translating I bumped into serious problem. How to distinquish between, for example, 1. Babtism <> Christening (both in Finnish: kaste, kastajaiset) 2. Burial <> Entombment (both in Finnish: hautaus) 3. Minister <> Priest (both in Finnish: pappi) 4. Reverend <> Pastor (both in Finnish: pastori)?? I believe at least the Officiator titles vary between countries and churches (Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican...), but I'm pretty sure this is a problem for many common users who are trying to choose the right alternative from the droplist and something should be done about it. I propose a short text description (or a "tooltip") as there already is for Emotional Relationships.
