Hi Sergi, I agree with what you say, but it's not the matter of the discussion. The problem is that instead of a tranlation to Valencian / southern Catalan, we have a translation to a language purposely designed by the RACV to look different than Catalan.
My proposal is to provide every variant and list them for what they are: - Catalan - Valencian (southern Catalan) - RACV's language This way we can have a translation to Valencian, and one to RACV's invention. I think it's a good compromise.
