#crowdsourcedtranslation — Public Fediverse posts

I think I already wrote a post about it, I forget, but I will write it anyway since I meet correcting my past self in #crowdsourcedtranslation again :P.

One of the many things I usually get confused with #English, for #translation usually related to #OpenStreetMap, is the difference between "altitude" and "elevation", because both are usually used interchangeably, even though they are supposed to mean something slightly different.

So, as I understand it, "altitude" refers to height difference from sea level, while "elevation" refers to height difference from point A to point B.
In #Greek I settled myself to translate them respectively "υψόμετρο" and "ανύψωση" (although the last one isn't necessarily per se, but usually the context is how much higher or lower you travelled since you started the journey).

The problem is, as I said before, many times those two terms are used interchangeably, like in #OsmAnd, where the translation Key says "get_altitude_data", but the String says "Get elevation data". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
