This translation issue affects the following translation keys:

 

createWorldScreen.experimentalSnifferFeature   
createWorldScreen.experimentalSnifferFeatureDescription
entity.sniffer.name
item.spawn_egg.entity.sniffer.name 

 

Solution:

The translations strings, which refrence the sniffer, have to be changed, accordingly.
The correct translation for the sniffer's entity's name in Greek is "Οσφρητής" - The object which utilises his sense of smell.  

  • Important Notice:
  • Some people might translate the word "Sniffer" as "Μυριστής", which in Unofficial Greek, has the same meaning , but the English equivalent/ tranlation in English is the "Smeller" not the "Sniffer".

A list of the previously refrenced translation keys', tranlsations in Greek, corrected, follows: (Some Syntax Changes Have Been Made, to adapt for the changes.) (In addition, a additional gramatical correction has been made at the translation of the createWorldScreen.experimentalSnifferFeatureDescription ( Changed "το" to "του" , see more at : https://www.greek-language.gr/greekLang/ancient_greek/tools/composition/page_012.html))
