The norwegian translation for the word "Event" is not good

[Eirik Grunde]

Hi there,

Currently Event = “Hendelse” in Norwegian.
The word is translated to a Norwegian word that would be the equivalent to the English word “Happening”/”Occurence”… and not really the same as Event. I would love for there to be an easy way to correct this… or at least add in settings the option to set what I want it to be translated as. Because there really is a couple of options.. depending on what type of events one is hosting.

I would suggest using “Aktivitet” (which is the same as activity in english, so it would be an activity calendar.)
or “Arrangement” (which i think in English I would be arrangement or event)
Also some Norwegians would just use the a Norwegian version of the English word “Event”, but it would be spelled different in some cases like in plural etc.
