  The correct translation for “categories” in Afrikaans is “kategorieë”. In the blog the spelling is incorrect.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Estelle!

  Thanks for the report. Just to be clear, the correct spelling for “category” is not “kategorie”. Instead, it should be “kategorieë”. Is that correct? Just reply back to confirm, and I’ll let our internationalization team know!

  Thank you for your feedback.
  “category” is singular and is translated “kategorie” in Afrikaans.
  However, “categories” imply more than one and then it is spelled “kategorieë” in Afrikaans.

  Hi!

  Thanks for getting back with me. Currently, it looks like the plural for categories (kategorieë) is used correctly on your Edit Post interface as shown here:

  

  Can you let me know where you’re seeing the incorrect translation?

  On my blog at
  http://klaskenades.wordpress.com/2014/03/30/tuiste/
  you will see the side bar on the right which is supposed to be “kategorieë”

  Yes, I see that it is used correctly on the Edit Post interface, but on the front and other pages of the blog it still needs to be changed.
  Again, thank you for your effort and consideration.
  I especially like the Afrikaans “aan’t karring” when I upload some media. It is beautiful!

  Hi Estelle,

  Sorry it has taken a while to get back to you.
  I’m no longer seeing Categories widget on your blog, but it looks like the widget is now correctly translated:

  

  Please let us know if you need any additional help.

  Thank you for your concern.
  I have two blogs:
  http://www.estelleke.wordpress.com – here I still use Kategorieë and the spelling is still not correct.
  http://www.klaskenades.wordpress.com – here I have changed to use the “tag” widget because the translation “etikette” is correct.
  I have to be correct on these two blogs because my audience will consist of Afrikaans language teachers and how can I set an example if my language use on the blog is wrong …
