Hello,
when driving through Des Moines, you can make a photo of the Iowa State Capitol (Photo Trophy).
I did so und was quite astonished that the Photo Trophy's name (in German) is "Hauptstadt des Bundesstaats Iowa", literally translated to "Capital city of the State of Iowa" since the Photo Trophy only depicts the State Capitol.
At first I thought this was a translation error, but then found out that the english name of the Photo Trophy is "Iowa State Capital". Could this be a spelling error as "Iowa State Capitol" fits the Photo Trophy much better?
Kind regards, Aspire

FWIW this looks like a simple mistake, especially as the localisation key is landmark_ia_capitol
Cheers, Steve

Just checked that string and to my surprise i already flagged it as an error on the translation platform when Iowa launched, ... over a year ago.
Sometimes SCS doesn't pay attention to some of the clear issues they make with the translation strings. It isn't the first time and it will not be the last time that such error will happen.

Thanks for your replies. Now I know that the error is not on me. I'm surprised that none of the translators pointed the error to SCS.

@Aspire The post above yours literally states it was reported to SCS over a year ago.
