There are some words in English that can be both plural and singular without needing an "S" at the end. "Scaffolding," "Packaging," and "Gum" are all examples of this. In ETS2 however, there is an "S" at the end of these cargo names that should be removed.

Also, there really should be a sub forum in Wrong Translations for English (US) and English (UK).

I would also argue that the following cargo name isn't accurate English either:

Concentrate Juices (Concentrated Juices or probably better Concentrated Juice)

I have previously queried the lack of an English forum but since that was more than fifteen months ago and yours is the first such post since, I guess that SCS can reasonably argue that English language 'translation' issues are rare enough that they don't warrant their own sub-forum. I would also love to see separate EN-US and EN-GB translations, but that is really nit-picking.

British English is the default language of the game and it is the base for localisation.

Well then I'd like to complain about Metal Centering (should be Centring) and Sulfuric Acid (should be Sulphuric) and probably the use of -ize instead of -ise in Containerized and Fertilizer (although both are debatable, as is the use of Octopi instead of Octopuses)

i created the sections for both english variants. feel free to report anything there ...

I believe the more correct term would be "Juice Concentrate"

Thanks Max. Do I need to duplicate my posts above into that sub-forum or are they already noted?

Thanks for this, Max!

"Mail" is another example of a word that can be both singular and plural without needing an "S" at the end of it.

is this true in british english as well?

LATER: after checking few web dictionaries it looks like it in both english variants in this way. and although the word "airmails" exists it is different thing ..
