I'm from the UK and often get very American questions. Such as "select all the images with cross-walks". This isn't really a phrase we have over here, so when I first got this I had no idea what I was meant to be looking for in the array of random pictures and actually had to look it up to get past it. If you're going to force me to do a captcha, at least localise the damn questions.
Do other non-American's get this as well?
- GordonS 7y agoAnother Brit here, and yes this does annoy me a bit.
- bouke 7y agoOr fire hydrants, which don’t exist in the NL. I only recognize those from US movies. Or taxi’s which can be any brand, model or color here. Sigh.
- izacus 7y agoAmerican storefronts are always an interesting guesswork for me. "Is this a rundown shack or an actual store?"
- josefresco 7y agoAmerican here: I when given the challenge of "select all the images with storefronts", typically they are not US based. I almost never speak/understand the language, but if there's a big sign on the building, I select it because it's most likely a storefront.
- _emacsomancer_ 7y agoThey're zebra crossings, but I suppose you know that by now. The captchas are completely non-localised as far as I can tell; as others have pointed out the 'store-fronts' tend to be non-American.
- bluehatbrit 7y agoGenerally it's not too hard to find something in a picture that is from another country, but the actual request text should really be localised. I usually go for the audio ones now though rather than the visual ones.
