As children we played pretend that there were monsters in the house to defeat. It’s a shame to see it now with adult eyes; for us in the area it is still a dear memory of our childhood. I hope that even children today can see the same charm and mystery in it that we saw in it. Additional information: It is a place dear to the childhood of us adults. It is an electricity house which however has a mysterious aspect that leads you to walk around it to explore it to discover something. The place is safe, it is close to a car park. It could be the lair of a Picachu or another electro pokemon! That said, I have no idea why it was rejected. If you can explain to me how to improve it would be fantastic ---

Hey, sorry for the confusion but I only mentioned your post because it is affected by a forum bug where the built-in translation feature doesn’t work. This is also true of a couple other posts you recently made. While you’re welcome to post a translation in your thread(s) to assist readers who aren’t willing to put in more effort than clicking the broken button, posting the translation here isn’t necessary. Cyndie replied in the thread I linked explaining a bit about Niantic’s AI and questioning what you’re nominating - I’m guessing she already translated your text separately and is still confused about what criteria this would meet, but if she hasn’t translated your text yet, providing the translation in your thread could help her or other commenters provide additional feedback. Unfortunately, I have similar concerns about how this would meet criteria, though I have an unimaginative adult perspective on utility buildings. ---

Has a button, which “works” but not very well: > [@Wayspot approved one eyar ago never show up in PokĂ©mon go](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/wayspot-approved-one-eyar-ago-never-show-up-in-pokemon-go/31682/9): > > “Quadra do sabiá” is in the same level 17 s2 cell as “Parquinho de madeira” ![IMG_0431](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/2X/c/cb4c41e4c23260235ae39574d88b629d773b640a.jpeg) ---

Here’s another one. When I use Chrome’s translation, it says it’s English, but when I put it into Google Translate, it comes back as Filipino. It gives a 500 error when you click on the globe. > [@Approval kingina nyo!](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/approval-kingina-nyo/42174): > > Ayaw nyo mag approve ha ok! walang mag aapprove ng kahit ano kingina nyo! lahat irereject ko kingina nyo! ---

Adding another.

I know, it’s such a weird bug. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I think the image in this current one may be part of the issue. ---

Another example that is a bit more weird, as this is definitely Italian but still got unnoticed: > [@Rifiuti continui su nuovi punti Wayspot](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/rifiuti-continui-su-nuovi-punti-wayspot/52500/4): > > Vi allego le foto di alcuni punti rifiutati ---

 VabĂČ. It’s quite recent, less than 10 minutes old. When I went into it, it was around 4-5 mins old and didn’t have the translate button yet. The poster had separate post, so I went to check if these were the same questions, which they aren’t. After checking the other post and coming back to this one, the translate button showed up. Before it showed up, I used the translator in Chrome, but it did show up after a short time. So, it’s possible it takes the systems a little time for the translate button to show up on most posts that aren’t in your set language, and we just have to wait for the system to catch up. I went back to the last one I reported, and the translate button is now showing on it.
