/api/v3/ability returns unofficial translations

[spacemeowx2]

With the addition of the reporting field for gear in stat.ink, s3si.ts was the first to implement the reporting of gear.

Since the ability returned from the official API only has name, a name -> key mapping is needed.

I thought that the api /api/v3/ability?full=1 mentioned in the info of the primary_ability field would have the same name as the official one, but it doesn't.

For example, in zh-CN, sub_power_up is officially shown as 提升次要武器性能, while the API in stat.ink shows 副武器增强.

Fortunately, there is an official API that lists all ability(myOutfitCommonDataFilteringConditionQuery). I wrote a script to get the names of all ability: https://github.com/spacemeowx2/s3si.ts/blob/main/scripts/generate-gear-map.ts

And here is the result: https://gist.github.com/spacemeowx2/56377320c219c30139887ec71d9687e6

I think it would be better if /api/v3/ability?full=1 returned the official name。

It does not only happen in zh-CN, but also in ja-JP.

For example, インク効率アップ（メイン） (stat.ink) -> インク効率アップ(メイン) (official). The characters in brackets are not the same

I agree in general.
The "name" in the API should match the official, if possible.

At this time, the localized-names returned by the API are intended for display to the user and are not suitable for exact matching.
This is because most of them are copies of the content of the Inkipedia pages, so we cannot guarantee the content.
The Japanese full-width and half-width are trivial and simply due to my input, but the case of Simplified Chinese is due to past contributions.
(They are derived from the "slang" for Splatoon 2 and should be updated to the latest as well as Traditional Chinese)
They are in the controllable zone, but I don't think es-MX and fr-CA in particular are trustworthy.
es-MX and fr-CA probably do not have enough editors for Inkipedia.

Our project has no parties other than Japanese and English (both US & UK).
Chinese seems to be ok at this time as we have active contributors like you.
For other languages, we are short-staffed at this time. We cannot guarantee accuracy.

All translations regarding abilities have been updated with the data provided by Splatoon3.ink.
I think the issue has improved a bit, but I don't know if everything is resolved.

Thanks for the fix! I'll make some minor changes and upload a few games to test using stat.ink's API.
