    Perhaps it would be better to match singular and plural between translations (i.e., for example, rivers=canaletti, river=canaletto).

    Always feel free to correct any problems you see with the terms in your native language. That’s why it’s set up as Wiki. 

    In this specific case, it was easier to change the English entry to resolve it. So I did that.
