The categories of the pictures are currently displayed in English even if the language is set to German.
I would be happy to help.

We're not sure about the best way to do it. If we translate it in the database, it causes issues when you change the language or when there are multiple users who prefer different languages. When we translate it in the UI, then also labels the user intentionally entered in English might be translated to other languages. Also image titles would still be in English.

Note that some labels come from location data, so you'd also need to translate all OpenStreetMap categories.

Doesn't OSM also offer translated data?

I've renamed my categories to German. Then I started a full reindex, and it seems that my translated categories are also used in the auto generated titles and keyword fields. This looks promising. Of course, changing the language again would require me to execute a full reindex again.

It looks like it might work if you first try to guess the categories, get the translated labels and then use them everywhere in the meta data.

Adding more translations should trigger a partial reindex of the untranslated categories.
Is it possible to mark category labels as "user modified"?

Was it finally changed to translate the labels?

I have the web interface in Spanish, but the labels are in English. If possible, what is the file that I should modify from English to Spanish so that the labels are in Spanish?

Thanks beforehand for your attention

Finalmente se logró poder traducir las etiquetas?

Yo tengo la interface web en español, pero las etiquetas están en inglés.

Si es posible, cual es el archivo que debería modificar de inglés a español para que las etiquetas estén en español?

Gracias de antemano por su atención

When you restarted the full reindex with your translated categories, did you lose faces or they stayed in place?

Note that auto generated titles are updated in the background, just not instantly but over time. So a full rescan is not strictly required.

I'm sorry, but I cannot remember what happened to them.
