toilet paper?

the original polish sentence just says `paper` so i didn't think it was appropriate to specify it here
but hm now i'm not sure

In English, "paper" can also refer to a "newspaper," or paper to write on.

if it were a newspaper it'd be countable, so `there are no papers` (unless the speaker is expecting exactly one newspaper i suppose)
and polish `papier` also refers to writing paper, but i presume the author of that translation (and the latin one, and the esperanto original) thought it was clear enough from context
i'm not against changing it to `toilet paper`, but if i do so i'd also like to unlink the polish sentence

I think it's clear enough from the context and doesn't need changing. I've heard toilet paper referred to as just "paper".

Perhaps you could add an "ambiguous" tag.
