deutsche Germanistin
Someone suggest a better translation for deutsche Germanistin than "german germanist". thanks -Lethe | Talk 09:06, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
the article in question is Käte Hamburger -Lethe | Talk 09:45, August 9, 2005 (UTC)
I would leave out "German" completely, because it is quite obvious she was German: she was born there, lived there ("immigrated" to Sweden) and died there - the context makes it clear she's German. If you want to stress that she was a German citizen, it could be added in another sentence, like: "Being a German citizen, Hamburger established her international status ...etc."--Fenice 09:54, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
I had a similar problem at Büdingen: the original German said something about a Gymnasium mit Turnhalle and I just couldn't quite bring myself to translate that Gymnasium with gymnasium. --Angr/t?k t? mi 21:49, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Translation request from German (old) template
As the German to English translation requests are now on a separate page, I've added a template that points back to this page: -
rather than the general template: -
on the basis that someone following the link in the general template will be brought to a page where the German to English requests are no longer listed. Valiantis 18:12, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Another template
I made a template based on {{1911}} that we can slap on translated articles: Template:German. It still needs some tweeking, but I'm not well endowed in the coding dept. --Tydaj 16:56, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
164 articles. How to order the mess?
Is it just me or are there too many articles listed on this page? I would love to contribute, but I am just confused at the mass of articles.
I really don't mind having a long backlist, but 164 articles? (Yes, I used a calculator). I don't know how many people are working on this project, but I really don't think there is 164 people here who do translations. Have a look at Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week. There is 90 people, but they only translate one article per week. This seems to be more realistic. Here is my suggestion: Limit the articles that are currently worked on to one per category. There is no need to have 79 biographies here at once. Move all other articles to a candidate subpage, like Wikipedia talk:German-English translation requests/biography. If the listed article of the category is finished (meaning translated, checked and cleaned up), it is removed and the next is chosen.
Good suggestion? -- Mkill 23:54, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
I am open to other ideas. Some other ways to improve usability:
- make a "translation of the week" subpage and list it on the top of the other articles
- Set a maximum time limit. Suggestions that don't find a translator within three months will be moved to Wikipedia talk:German-English translation requests/Rejected
- turn the two biggest unfinished groups on this page, jewish biographies and family name disambiguations, to a project of their own.
