Albanian translation help
editPllease, would you add the Albanian translations to parrot, listen, and Appendix:Chess pieces? Thanks, --EncycloPetey 21:38, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, EP thanks for the welcome. I am working at http://sq.wiktionary.org/wiki/Faqja_Kryesore in Albanian and whenever i add an english translation of a word in albanian i add it in the English Wiktionary. I feel honored that I am able to do what i can. Thanks Zeke sq-N 21:50, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- We are glad to have you working here. We had some questions about ç' and çfarë, but did not know how to define them for Albanian. None of the administrators is skilled with Albanian. --EncycloPetey 22:35, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- I will try to do my best and go ahead and edit ç' and çfarë. Zeke sq-N 22:55, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for you contributions! However, take note that translations are listed alphabetically by Language. I’ve seen several cases where you listed Albanian before Afrikaans, that is not correct… H. (talk) 17:27, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Must have been in a hurry! :-) I will be more careful in the future though. Thanks --Zeke sq-N 05:27, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Could you please explain the Albanian translations here? I don't understand why they're only partly linked, or what the parentheses are supposed to mean. DAVilla 11:18, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- The word arrëz means atlas. Now we have two expresions: "Arrëza e fytit" and "Molla e Adamit" for Adam's apple.
- arrëz - atlas
- e - is a an article
- fyt - throat
- mollë - apple
If you think it's better linked then I can edit it as Molla e Adamit all together. --Zeke sq-N 12:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC) It's done! --Zeke sq-N 14:14, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks! Would it be appropriate to list arrëz e fytit as a translation as well? You can explain the literal meaning on that page, e.g. # [[Adam's apple]], literally "atlas of the throat". DAVilla 07:00, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Check out Arrëza e fytit, please? :-) --Zeke sq-N 09:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
- Great! By the way, if you add content it can always be formatted later, but it helps to have consistency from the start. To that end, you should know that we only use certain headers (and ===Etymology=== would also have been appropriate for this information). Thanks for contributing and for the clarification, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions. DAVilla 04:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
