- Keep as a translation target and a set phrase. The Czech translation is "v plenkách". Phrase "to be in its infancy" is in Collins English-French Dictionary[1]; phrase "in its infancy" is in WordReference English-Spanish Dictionary[2]. How often is "infancy" in this sense used outside of the phrase "in its infancy"? --Dan Polansky (talk) 06:56, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
- IMO this is just about idomatic enough to keep. 86.152.161.103 13:59, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
