### Categories strings ### Categories strings
Search categories synonyms/aliases usually shouldn't be just direct translations from English, but rather adaptations - e.g. some specific terms could be used in your language to search for a certain feature and they might not have English equivalents. Search categories synonyms/aliases usually should **not** just be direct translations from English, but rather adaptations as some specific terms could be used in your language to search for a certain feature and they might not have English equivalents. It's just a matter of "what would you type in the search in <language> to find shop=mall?" (As a concrete example, in regional German dialects, some types of corner/convenience stores or kiosks are called "Spätis". This has no direct translation into English, but would be a relevant search term when looking for `shop=kiosk`).
Some translations are borrowed from the common category (`@` in the key). Please do not duplicate translations if a category in the key already includes it. Translations can be borrowed from a common category (indicated by the use of a `@` in the key). Please do not duplicate translations that are already inherited from a parent.

#### Example
Look at the following category string:
`"shop-furniture|@shop": "4Furniture"`
Here, `4Furniture` indicates that `Furniture` will be suggested after the user types `furn` and beyond.
Furthermore, `@shop` in the key declaration indicate that translations from the `@shop` category will also be used to search for `shop=furniture` POIs. For this reason, translations that are already available in the categories keys do not have to be repeated.
