I don`t see the problem here, since I could easely use google translete (copy+paste) way does it not work for you??

The 'offending' text has apparently been removed.

I honestly don't understand why people were so upset over this... must EVERYTHING be in English now?

Ah, apparently the update didn't just create a new [map description](http://warlight.net/Map.aspx?ID=1828) it also tweaked the old [preview map](http://warlight.net/SinglePlayer.aspx?PreviewMap=4533) (now called "examine this map") screen; removing the description from there. My apologies, when I said it doesn't have a description I was looking in the wrong place. On the bright side, that means that descriptions are now easily selectable (read: easily copy-pastable to Google Translate), pretty much the suggestion made in this thread.

@Hennns: Until yesterday, the text was in a different location, where it was not selectable; until yesterday, Google Translating required someone to manually copy the text (like I did for Poland Big).

Isn't that problem much easier solved with a "Report map" button (or, assuming this is a pretty rare problem, with an email to fizzer@)? If nobody takes offence, it's not a problem (like bad language in private chat with people who don't mind and therefore won't report you), the moment somebody gets offended, it can be verified quick enough.

Hi, I created this map.
I thought, all dont have to be in english.
For example Poland or Imperium Romanum is in Polish.
But if you want description in english, ok.
I am going to write english description.

yes, you can translate, but I rewrote it.

New description is:

Toto je malá mapa Česka, rozdělená na kraje.
Česká republika vznikla rozpadem Československa v roce 1993.
Každé území je podle skutečného kraje (kromě středočeského kraje, který byl rozdělen na 2). Každé území má vlastní bonus, který je obvykle 1.

English:
This is a small map of the Czech Republic, divided into counties.
Czech Republic was created by disintegration of Czechoslovakia in 1993.
Each territory is like real county (besides Středočeský kraj, which is devided into 2 counties). Each territory has its own bonus, which is usually 1.



What do you think about it? It is OK?

Yup, I don't care what you put in the description, as long as we can understand it.
