    Gelati and Gelato

    The NPC "Spiteful Knight", located in Coerthas Western Highlands (X:21.6 Y10.4), gives us a quest named "Lonely Vigil" and asks us to kill 4 Gelatos (or gelatis?).

    As you can see in the picture, Gelato is misspelled gelati.

    As in the real world, gelati is the plural of gelato. It's an Italian pluralisation.

    The localization team likes to use the pluralization rules from the languages of borrowed words, though they are not consistent with it. For example, the GLA weapons of the family "macuahuitl" use the Nahuatl pluralization "macuahuimeh" instead of using an English -s pluralization, but the game doesn't pluralize "axolotl" (from the same language) as "axolomeh".
