      Well rug… Not carpet. And it’s literally saying the carpet is the mold. So it would better translate to rug-mold.

      It’s probably google translated to Russian, since it’s just two nouns slapped together.

        Yeah, Google Translate also translates carpet as “ковер” instead of the proper spelling (ковёр), and it actually does translate “carpet mold” as “ковер плесень” (instead of a more proper translation like “ковровая плесень” or “плесень в ковре”).

        I’d say it’s 99% google translate

          Eh, both are proper spelling, I don’t think any Russian manual said it’s mandatory. The ë is used mainly in dictionaries, Russian schoolbooks, etc. where ambiguity should be minimal.

            Fair enough. I tend to use it because it just reduces scanning ambiguity when reading text quickly.
