When a field value needs to be translated to a target language, if the translation does not exist yet, English is shown (or the canonical language if the English translation does not exist either).

=== Singular or plural? ===
 +
Generally, we use the plural for categories but some of them are in singular. We don't put the plural form when it has a different meaning. For example Beef and Beefs. We are talking of the meat and not the animal, so there is no "s".
 +
 +
Sometimes plural or singular depends on the language.
 +
 +
If the category is in plural form, the translations should be in the plural form.

@stephane new proposal (not yet adopted, to be discussed)
 +
In the categories taxonomy, always use the plural (en:beers, fr:bières).
 +
Then add the singular (especially if it's not a simple rule like removing the final s) in a property:
 +
singular:en:beer
 +
singular:fr:bière
 +
For the ingredients taxonomy, do the reverse:
 +
always use the singular for the main entry, and then add the plural:
 +
en:tomato
 +
plural:en:tomatoes
 +
</pre>
