Why are people's names translated in Discussions?

Has anyone noticed that people's names get translated on the Discussions pages? Luis Branco becomes Luis White and Daire Guiney becomes Apartment Guiney?

It's not consistent, replies show the correct, untranslated name. The list of discussions also show the correct name.

Hi Stéphane,

Maybe it's your browser configuration, something like Google translate extension.

I just opened up using Internet Explorer. It displays fine until I pick English under TRANSLATE's Language at the bottom of the web page.

Unfortunately, there is no option in the drop-down list to put it back to nothing. I had to clear my browser site data to clear the entry.

I usually use Chrome, João. I used Internet Explorer to test under a different browser.

Interesting. I have no issues, that I am aware of, from my end so far.

Rami, it only happens if you select a language under TRANSLATE at the bottom of the web page. Mine was set to English instead of being empty.

When I switched to French, Luis' last name went from White to Blanc.

Oh, I see what you mean. It translates the names too. What does mine look like ? :D I guess I don't exist in the dictionary.
