Upgrade StorageZotero translation Document type Artwork
Dear all,
the document type ‘Artwork’ is translated as ‘Illustration’ in the French version of the software (version 9), which is not at all the same thing.
Is it possible to influence the translations chosen, and to suggest ‘Oeuvre d’art’ – which is the literal translation of ‘Artwork’ – or perhaps ‘Document iconographique’?
Best regards,
Anna

I think it would be counter-productive to use such a specific translation. First of all, "artwork" is actually a bit more general than what one usually means in French with "oeuvre d'art", see for example https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/artwork
Secondly, this item type is really used for all kinds of graphical objects https://docs.zotero-fr.org/kb/item_types_and_fields/#types-de-documents , not just artistic or historic ones.
