Sometimes I find unsuitable text values and bad translations in the OsmAnd Add POI Feature.

Any experiences?

Enable editing plugin (in the burger). After that, when viewing a POI, youll have the options to edit and send OSM notes

Yes, That is the feature shown on the screenshot. The preset text values sometimes misleading (in this case just "Government" and sometimes bad translations)

Ah, sorry. I misunderstood.

I this case, I think, a revision of the translation would be in order

I cannot find the POI text values in the strings.xml or at weblate. I also cannot find any useful hints regarding the POI Add Feature.

Therefore I asked for any experiences ;)
