The text templates for Dale of Merchants seem to have some special placeholders that get replaced by icons/images. As far as I understand (please correct me, if I‘m wrong), these placeholders should not get translated, as otherwise the replacement would not work.

Instead of the usual placeholder format ${placeholderName}, Dale of Merchants uses ALL-CAPS words, for example:
CARD, CARDS2, CARDS3, COIN, DIE_POLECAT, DIE_OCELOT, …

I have seen that some translators have translated these icon placeholders, probably because they are used to translate all-caps word, as most other games use all-caps to emphasize a single word.

Maybe contact the dev and ask them to use the standard format in the future?

I reported it as a bug, see see https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=245824
