You'll notice that I moved or rewrote all of your Samoan contributions. Samoan normally never has a vowel following the same vowel with nothing in between. It may be written that way because people don't bother with the glottal stop, but that's not the modern standard orthography. The orthography we use here uses the straight apostrophe (') for the glottal stop, marks long vowels with a macron (āēīōū) and spells the "ng" sound with "g": fa'a Sāmoa, Pago Pago, etc. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you shouldn't be working with Samoan entries or translations. Be very careful with online sources: Glosbe is full of errors, and some of the older works on Google Books use obsolete orthographies. Don't even think about using Google- or Bing Translate, which are computer-generated guesses. Thanks! Chuck Entz (talk) 09:53, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
