Just looking at booking something in Germany. Using the translate page in Edge.

It's Herr or Frau as the German options
But translated, it's Lord or Wife.....

I don't want to come across all 'woke' or anything but seriously? Lord or Wife?

Why not Lady Grin or shouldn't husband be an option if wife is?

Herr and Frau are the German equilvalent of Mr and Mrs. But also have other meanings such as man and woman

Goodwife Cakeorwine has a ring to it 😁

That’s a poor translation. You’re getting worked up over absolutely nothing.

And yes they can be translated wife / lord but I'm surprised the page doesn't offer Mr/Ms first!

Yes, it does seem to have gone for the less common translation
