Leg summary in step table can be ungrammatical in Spanish

[1ec5]

LEG_MAJOR_WAYS_FORMAT and WAYPOINT_SOURCE_DESTINATION_FORMAT determine the format of the summary at the top of a leg in the step table when there are multiple legs. Each contains two names joined by the conjunction “and”. In Spanish, the equivalent conjunction is usually “y” but can change to “e” if the following word begins with an “i” or “y”. The navigation SDK nonetheless uses “y” unconditionally.

This problem affects Spanish localizations of all kinds of software (for example, citation-style-language/locales#87), but it’s especially acute for this particular string because so many street names and place names can begin with “I” or “Y”.

We’d need to add a special case in the code, because neither the .strings format nor Transifex supports varying conjunctions this way.

This is a super, super edge case all things considered and would be an extreme over-optimization on the client given other priorities at the moment.

• Multiple waypoints (edge case)
• Step table view (less commonly used view)
• Multiple way names in summary (edge case)
• Grammatical edge case in Spanish (edge case, relatively speaking)

If this needs to be fixed at all, it should be fixed on the in the directions API.
