how to handle translating one entry which is used for different things ("Coffee") #528

Description

@mnalis

I'm trying to translate this "Coffee" entry to Croatian:

It says:

Occurrences
C:\Users\simon\git\beautified-JOSM-preset\build\temp/v4.xml:12834(item:name|group:Food|preset:Coffee):, 
C:\Users\simon\git\beautified-JOSM-preset\build\temp/v4.xml:13985(list_entry:short_description|preset:Vending_Machine|value:coffee):

I've looked it up in in https://github.com/simonpoole/beautified-JOSM-preset/releases/download/5.104.0/vespucci_v4_zip.zip and at those lines it seems the same word "Coffee" is used for two different things, i.e.:

  • one is for shop=coffee,
  • another is vending=coffee entry in amenity=vending_machine

However, in Croatian, translation would be different for those two things ("Prodavaonica kave" for shop vs. "Kava" when used in a list of vending products1).

What to do? Is it possible to split that "Coffee" term into two separate translations? Or what is suggested way to proceed?

(this is one specific case, related to #527 -- in case it is hopefully more actionable)

Footnotes

  1. i.e. when just for vending=coffee tag, as used in Vespucci/JOSM. (For naming full combination of vending=coffee +amenity=vending_machine we'd have to say: "Automat za kavu")
