Example:

name:cello

Also know as violoncello (the “small large viol”), it is the medium bass member of the modern violin family and a principal member of the symphony orchestra.

in Polish:

Znana również jako wiolonczela („mała duża viola”), jest średnim basowym instrumentem w rodzinie współczesnych skrzypiec i głównym członkiem orkiestry symfonicznej.

“viol” as “viola” - it doesn’t mean anything

Only Viola is little Violetta (female name). :wink:

You need to talk to the Instrument Inserter as to its true definition. Something connected to the violin family

( I flipped the language on the Wikidata article to see what happened… but it probably don’t make sense as it is computer output :joy: Wikiwakidata can often be weirdly out of sync in other languages…)
