Re: DataDisplayAndRules.defineLookupOptions.hawking (“Hawking”)

In what sense should we translate "hawking"? Somehow I doubt this refers literally to hunting hawks, but at least the German translation seems to have assumed that.

I believe hawking here means this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawker_%28trade%29. I'll confirm with other developers.

Reply from the dev list:

Yes, you can safely go with that assumption. I have yet to hear of any microfinance loans for “Falconry” (which I believe is the more correct term) :).

Documented

I also fuzzied the existing translations that Google Translate thought translate back to "falconry".

Thanks.

What have I done. Thanks McDutchie for tracking this. I did not know about Falconry. So I thought that Hawking is the name for hunting with hawks. *lol*
