What problem does this check look for?
In Romanian, a missing diacritic can change a word form and, in some cases, its meaning. In catalog content, these forms can appear in text customers read and can make the content harder to interpret or less consistent.
The problem cannot be handled safely with mechanical replacements alone. The same unaccented form may have more than one valid Romanian interpretation, so the check needs to distinguish clear cases from cases where context is required.
Examples that show why context matters
The examples below are illustrative. They explain the type of problem; they are not findings measured in a store and do not guarantee how a specific string will be classified by the detector.
masina de spalatmașina de spălatA simple example where Romanian diacritics are missing from more than one word.
fara zaharfără zahărThe diacritic form follows normal Romanian spelling and is easier to read as Romanian text.
fatafată / fața / another contextual interpretationA mechanical replacement can change meaning here. This illustrates why some cases need review.
What does PROVEN check?
Checks Romanian terms where diacritics may be missing and separates unique matches from ambiguous cases.
Why does it matter?
Missing diacritics can change a word form or meaning, and some unaccented forms have multiple valid interpretations.
Why is this useful to a merchant?
The value of the check is not only finding a missing mark. It is separating cases where a remediation can be prepared safely from cases where a person still needs to confirm the intended meaning.
That separation reduces the risk of turning a simple-looking text correction into an incorrect wording change. A finding should be treated as evidence for a decision, not as permission for uncontrolled automatic editing.
What can PROVEN do?
For unique matches, PROVEN can prepare the diacritic form; ambiguous cases remain for your review.
How PROVEN handles this check
The published detector flow is intentionally simple: identify the relevant terms, separate clear cases from ambiguous ones, and keep remediation controlled.
- Identify relevant Romanian termsPROVEN checks Romanian terms where diacritics may be missing.
- Separate clear and ambiguous casesUnique matches are separated from cases where the same unaccented form can have multiple interpretations.
- Prepare or request reviewFor unique matches, PROVEN can prepare the diacritic form; ambiguous cases remain for merchant review.
Why might your review be required?
Some unaccented forms have more than one valid interpretation. In those cases, the detector should not automatically decide what the text was intended to mean. Product context and the intended wording still matter before a change is made.
The «Needs your review» state means review is part of the published workflow for this check; it does not mean every detected case is automatically wrong.
What this page does not tell you
- The existence of this detector does not mean your store contains this problem.
- The examples are explanatory and are not measurements from a real catalog.
- Ambiguous cases remain subject to review and are not turned into automatic corrections.
- A store's actual state must be established through a real check of the data available for that store.
Frequently asked questions
Does PROVEN automatically fix every missing Romanian diacritic?
No. PROVEN can prepare the diacritic form for unique matches, while ambiguous cases remain for review.
Why are some cases ambiguous?
Because one form written without diacritics can correspond to more than one valid Romanian word form. The correct choice can depend on context and intended meaning.
Does this page tell me whether my store has this problem?
No. This page explains the public detector and how to interpret the check. Store-specific results require an actual check of that store.
Are the examples guaranteed detector findings?
No. They are explanatory examples only. The detector decision depends on the real data being analyzed and the documented behavior of the check.
