Confusion between normal Yatzy and Yahtzee setting for us Swedish players.

I saw that they retranslated the options and before was it two choices with same name 'Yatzy" and now another changed to 'Maxi-Yatzy'.
But if I switched language to English it says 'Yatzy' and 'Yahtzee'.
But it was kinda wrong and is different rules between Yahtzee and Swedish Maxi-Yatzy.
Maxi-Yatzy must be played with 6 dices instead for 5 and with some another rules.
I found English text describing this.

Full rules (only swedish) on the Wikipedia page, but the link to English language is wrong rules as Yahtzee.

Maybe it is mere a translation error, because we Swedish players almost never played Yahtzee.
But I maybe can suggest the Swedish rules adds as a new rule option and name this as "Swedish Maxi-Yatzy" for English users?
