[Feedback requested] Improved screen to input Basic Details

[g123k]

Hi everyone,

I've redesigned the Basic Details page.

There are two main goals:

• Simplify the translation mechanism
• Simplify the input of brands (and to change the order)

More specifically, for translations, the idea is to have a list of all of them.

So many errors. I understand that they might not be related to any changes being done here. Nonetheless, touching this subject...

"Coca-Cola Company" is not a product brand. That is a false statement.
Correct examples:
Main brands: KitKat, Prince, Milka.
Secondary brands: Nestlé, LU, Mondelēz.

In spelling terms, the correct way to write is with a space in between the values and units (always "100 g," never "100g"). A simple web search for this matter (such as a search for "space between unit") yields plenty of results confirming this. Yet, the lack of space in writing is widespread. Many people and companies don't use the space, even though it's not right and even though they are wrong in doing so. Using a space is consistent with how we write in general, because wedon'ttypelikethis,whithoutspacesbetweenwhatwe'resaying.
You must include the space in your examples, so that they're free of spelling errors.
Correct example: 600 g (4 x 15 g).

Saying "Input a name (eg: Diet Coke)" WILL encourage and cause people to further make up names for the products, filling-in the data as made-up information rather than real, factual data.
Instead, it should say (using your format): Input main title (if any) exactly as given (eg: Chocolate Original).
That's short for "Input the product's main title (if any) exactly as written on the package."
Examples: Chocolate Original, Almond No Sugars, Walnuts.

• The Coca-Cola Company should not be there, but in the end, it should not be in there https://world.openfoodfacts.org/brand/coca-cola-company or there https://world.openfoodfacts.org/brand/the-coca-cola-company. This will be solved by the taxonomization of brands, which is outside of the app's hands.
• We could use a Nestlé brand like Nescafé.
• We could reintroduce the common name edition (which has been widely cannibalized by the category system)

I agree with @teolemon the spacing and brand name problem is not the main concern of this issue, although interesting.

Concerning the feedback request:

• I like the design
• Multi language is looking good, but we would need to only show relevant languages

I was wondering why this field was removed in the Flutter app, any reason?
But if we add this field, will it be visible somewhere?

Thanks @M123-dev for your feedback, but could you elaborate on what you call "relevant languages"?

[M123-dev]

Sorry for my late reply @g123k, it's coming from an idea we had some long time back:

• Allowing the user to have multiple favorite languages
• 1. Living near a border
• 2. I am on vacation so I also add the vacation language to my favorites for quick product addition in this language

I think it's particularly useful here, I won't be interested in the product data in Swedish, but maybe in Spanish since I have a basic knowledge of it
