What happens when the bug occurs? There is a mistranslation ("læg ned")
What do you expect to see? The proper translation ("sæt her")
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
I'm guessing that the English version of the game says something like "put here" or "place here". While "læg" is a correct translation of "put" and "place", it is not the correct translation in the context. Danish has two words for "put"/"place": "Læg" and "sæt". "Læg" is used for placing someone in a horisontal position, like "put toddler to bed" ("læg tumling i seng") while "sæt" is used when placing someone in a sitting posion, like "put toddler in highchair" ("sæt tumling i højstol"). The correct translation does appear if the selected sim is holding a toddler or if there is only 1 toddler in the household and click a highchair.
Additionally, "ned" is also not the correct word to use in this context. While both "læg ned" and "sæt ned" are correct Danish sentences, it is not correct in this context as they are more used for putting items down and the littreal translation is "put down". I would use "her" because "her" means "here" so you end up with the sentence "sæt her". This, correct, translation also appears when you only have one toddler in the household or your selected sim is holding a toddler, i.e "Sæt *name* her".
To sum up:
"Læg ned..." = incorrect
"Sæt ned..." = more correct but not fully in this context
"Sæt her" = correct
Sorry for the long explanation, I'm a bit of a language/grammar nerd.
I realise there's a thread for Danish mistranslations and I tried to post this here, but I guess using the "start new topic" button was wrong even when I was on the thread? I read all of the introduction to the Answer HQ stuff but must've missed how to add to an existing thread. I'm guessing I have to use the "reply" feature and copy-paste the bug report format? I'm sorry for any additional work this causes any of the admins but this is my very first post.
