Contributors
Do we have enough people who are able to translate sentences here for this page to work? Perhaps we can make a list of people who are able to translate sentences and limit requests to those languages. We can remove people from the list after 1 week if they 1. have no contributions or 2. are not translating requests.

Example list:

English to Chinese
 * Person A en-2 zh-N
 * Person B en-N zh-1
 * Person C en-4 zh-1

English to Irish
 * Person A en-N ga-N
 * Person B en-N ga-1
 * Person C en-N ga-0 (can ask teacher)

Seems to me that this is a solution to a non-existent problem! --Wonderfool 02:24, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * (three years later) essentially there are a lot outstanding and a lot that are 'hacks', but it's better than nothing, right? Mglovesfun (talk) 19:51, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Unsigned
FYI, I've created an template (based on w:Template:Unsigned) that y'all can use on this and similar pages. - dcljr 16:58, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hadn't bothered checking to see who added this very useful little thing.  --Connel MacKenzie 06:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

archiving completed requests
This page is (wow!) getting long. I think we need a Translation requests/Archive soon. --Connel MacKenzie 06:32, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

 * If no one objects, I'll start WerdnaBot on this this next week. --Connel MacKenzie 02:44, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

 * See Translation requests/archive. Rod (A. Smith) 03:28, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup
Is it our policy not to clean up pages like these with bad spelling, caps, typos like heip for help. There seems to be a conflict between wanting the page as easy to read as possible, and respecting people by not altering their comments. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:42, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * For example Dansih to English, if I corrected this to Danish and used how would people feel? In the main space, it would be essential to correct this. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:48, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

 * For these flash-in-the-pan anons who make obvious but serious spelling or typing errors, fixing their comments is certainly no more touchy than deleting them, which we often do when they are incomprehensible nonsense. I am sure that they would be tickled to have necessary repairs made to their comments. —Stephen 19:58, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I've tried to do the minimum. Bad spelling, caps, pointless spaces, I think all that inhibits understanding quite a lot. I can read good German a lot better than I can read text message English. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:26, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I've left most things in that don't make it a lot harder to understand. I think English is difficult enough for anyone (including me) if you have 10 spelling mistakes in 10 words, it makes it a LOT harder. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:49, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The page isn't *that* long right now, but what's our archiving policy? Do we archive stuff even if it doesn't have a reply? Maybe something like Translation requests/pending would be okay, we have the same thing in French for 'propose a word' and 'questions on words'. Mglovesfun (talk) 23:06, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Renaming
Can we rename this page "Tattoos and platitudes"? Equinox ◑ 01:59, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
 * And homework assignments. —Angr 05:06, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

why the big traffic?
How come this page is so frequently edited? I'm guessing there's some high-profile inlinks, or we have awesome google power or something. By the way, I saw a page once having the most-edited pages on Wiktionary. Where is that page?--Rockpilot 21:35, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, RP. We still don't know. --Genecioso (talk) 22:03, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I wonder if it's advertised externally. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why we get so many translation requests. It's not exactly a translation service website. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 22:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Gaelic? Which Gaelic?
I've seen a few requests that used the word "Gaelic" but not with either the word "Irish", "Manx", or "Scottish". Does something like that annoy anyone? As a policy, should we ever leave a public note to visitors that they must not only state the specific language if it's a Celtic one, but also of words such as Austrian or Asturian? (Whether it's either an opinion or proposal, you can opine.) --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 10:36, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

 * It doesn’t annoy me. If someone asks for Gaelic and the first person who tackles it does Scottish Gaelic, that’s what he gets. If I do it, it will be Irish Gaelic. If it is important that it be Irish or Scottish or whatever, they have to specify beforehand. I think most of the people who would respond to a public note about being more specific would be specific without being prodded. Most people who are not specific would ignore such a note. —Stephen (Talk) 10:44, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I wonder how many people who ask for "Gaelic" without further specification are even looking for a Goidelic language. I used to be on a Celtic languages e-mail list, and someone there once complained how many e-mails the list got from people asking such questions as "How do you say Zbigniew Brzezinski in Breton Gaelic?" and how one isn't sure how to even begin telling the asker what's wrong with the question. —Angr 19:31, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Wow... - -sche (discuss) 20:14, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

archives
Hi there

I've been bold and trimmed out the page a bit; it didn't look like you guys still needed translation requests from June still kicking around. I'm not on Wiktionary very much, but I help out with archiving at the Wikipedia Reference Desk when the automated bot goes down so I... usually know what I'm doing. There's more to be done, but I figured I'd pause to make sure my actions are in line with general consensus. Please let me know if I've goofed and feel free to revert my edits if I have. :) Matt Deres (talk) 14:49, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
 * You did nothing wrong. This page is extremely disorganized anyway (I don't even know why we have it), but it definitely was getting a bit too large. --WikiTiki89 16:03, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

here are some points which can improve this project
I had gone through this page and i liked it very much. But if we make some changes it will look great. When we add translation then we should give a number to it every time. Which will make it to look great and also it will be more easy to understand.

 * For example. It is a present translation in this page

== Hindi translation ==

I think I would have given enough time it's time to gv something else
 * मुझे लगता है कि मैं पर्याप्त समय दिया है चाहिए। यह कुछ अलग की पेशकश करने के लिए समय है। —Stephen (Talk) 08:56, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
 * मुझे लगता है की मुझे और समय मिलाना चाहिये। यह कुछ अलग देने का समय है।- Akक्षय (talk) 02:36, 15 September 2014 (UTC)'''

If we add no. to it then

== Hindi translation ==

I think I would have given enough time it's time to gv something else

 * 1) मुझे लगता है कि मैं पर्याप्त समय दिया है चाहिए। यह कुछ अलग की पेशकश करने के लिए समय है। —Stephen (Talk) 08:56, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) मुझे लगता है की मुझे और समय मिलाना चाहिये। यह कुछ अलग देने का समय है।- Akक्षय (talk) 02:36, 15 September 2014 (UTC)'''

Please tell can it be possible. Akक्षय (talk) 16:36, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes, it’s possible. Whenever you add a second translation, just change the initial ":" of the first translation to "#", and then also put # in front of the second translation. —Stephen (Talk) 05:28, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

format oddity
I'm curious about the frequency of requests that look like this:
 * [insert text here]
 * History is made at night. Character is who you are in the dark.
 * History is made at night. Character is who you are in the dark.

Is there an input form (distinct from what you get by clicking the "new section" button) with prompts that somehow produce this? —Tamfang (talk) 19:47, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

 * It is created by people unfamiliar with wikitax appending the phrase they wish translated to a template-started page, e.g.
 * [insert text here]
 * The text being requested to be translated.
 * Not much to be done about it, imo. - Amgine/t · e 21:39, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Not much to be done about it, imo. - Amgine/t · e 21:39, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

 * They must be slightly less unfamiliar with wikitax than I am. —Tamfang (talk) 05:54, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

Transliteration of some translations
Hi Stephen, are you able to add transliterations to your short translations into Arabic (and possibly other languages where automated translit doesn't work or require significant efforts- Persian, Hebrew), please? Mostly interested in Arabic, since I'm learning it/brushing it up (supposedly, LOL). It would be too much too ask for longer translations but shorter wouldn't be too hard, would it? You can use whatever method is easier for you, chat, our standard, with or without the iʿrāb. Adding diacritics would also work for automated Arabic transliterations but it's not always easy to type. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:10, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

 * I'll try to transliterate short translations when I have time. I usually don't bother, because I don't think it's useful to the requester in most cases, it takes more time, and most people who aren't linguists need a simpler transliteration. —Stephen (Talk) 22:21, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Stephen: Thanks, Stephen. I would appreciate this. The requesters may benefit from this, if they know, even roughly how to say this. I, on my part, will make use of the translations, to add missing translations, words or usage example of my choice. For the Wiktionary community it would also be beneficial, since some people may be more familiar with spoken languages, than written. In any case, it's more educational, if we provide some transliterations.
 * E.g. in Translation_requests (6 September), my suggested format, using chat Arabic, which is easy to type, if it's OK:
 * I only transliterated the part I could follow with little effort but I'll leave it up to you. Thanks again. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 06:26, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
 * "Sayd ad-durraj", pheasant hunting. —Stephen (Talk) 07:49, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Stephen: thanks, fixed. I was thinking about, the word I had to look up, although your example uses (it's the sense according to H. Wehr). --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 12:35, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Discouraging rubbish requests
Some of the requests seem to be more-or-less junk in the original language, possibly the result of a machine translation from something else. I think the best thing would be to decline these requests rather than wasting time on them, and tell people to post the original instead. Qualified Quantum Mechanic (talk) 05:56, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

 * There is no way to know that. Someone probably did do a machine translation, but not necessarily the person posting the request. The requester may have seen the text on his talk page, on youtube, Facebook, or some such place and could make no sense of it. Some of the requests may be bogus, some may be valid, and there is no way to know which is which. The rubbish translations take less time to translate than the complaints from a few others who neither do the translations nor have interest in them take to answer. It seems to me that anyone who does not wish to translate a request might simply ignore it, and those who are happy to translate it can do so. It's a tempest in a teapot. —Stephen (Talk) 07:28, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Someone might have an interest but not immediately realize that what they are looking at is rubbish, and then get somewhat miffed that they wasted their time. Qualified Quantum Mechanic (talk) 09:16, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Add link to DeepL in header
It only supports 9 languages but I've found its translations to be better than Google Translate sometimes. https://www.deepl.com/en/translator Akeosnhaoe (talk) 07:23, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

It attributes that quote to "Sir W. Hamilton", which I assume was meant to be Sir William Hamilton, 9th Baronet.

I don't think this definition really corresponds to my understanding of this word. Particularly "unsafe".
 * I have removed "unsafe". This definition came from the (public domain) 1913 Webster's, and some of its definitions are dated or no longer accurate.  If you find definitions like this, feel free to improve them. —Dvortygirl 06:19, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

RFV discussion: November 2013–June 2014
Rfv-sense: ( psychology, psychoanalysis, Freud ) Simultaneously familiar and foreign, often uncomfortably so; translation of Freud's German unheimlich ("no longer secret").

I request attestation per WT:ATTEST. Sense originally added on 7 January 2007 in. --Dan Polansky (talk) 15:44, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Translation by who? Perhaps not all translators would use the same word. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:56, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * My understanding is that this is a widespread, standard English term for Freud's unheimlich.     . Mr. Granger (talk) 22:10, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Still needs citing. When cited, we can see if the citations lead to a specific gloss or usage note such as "in translations of Freud". Mglovesfun (talk) 23:11, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Would it help that the essay titled Das Unheimliche (1919) is canonically titled "The Uncanny" in English translation? I imagine the entire essay would count as citation. The supplied translation of "Unheimlich" as "no longer secret" is somewhat baffling. It clearly breaks down as "un-homely", meaning "not comfortably familiar", and "uncanny" = "beyond one's ken" seems a good direct translation (in terms of the implications of being disturbing and potentially distressing). --Catsidhe (verba, facta) 00:54, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Cited. Mr. Granger (talk) 03:00, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Given the cites added in by you, we now have enough evidence to see that "the uncanny" is used in reference to Freud. But what about evidence attesting "Simultaneously familiar and foreign, often uncomfortably so" definition? I emphasize the apparent contradition in the definition. On one more note, the def says '... German unheimlich ("no longer secret")', where "no longer secret" seems implausible given both unheimlich and . On a final note, the sense actually attested in references to Freud should IMHO significantly differ from the sense of "strange, and mysteriously unsettling" (which we already have) in order to be kept. --Dan Polansky (talk) 19:52, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree that the definition could use to be reworded. Maybe something like "similar to what is familiar, but having an unnerving foreign quality"? I don't know enough German to comment on the "no longer secret" gloss, except to say that the word heimlich apparently does mean "secret".
 * I do think this definition is distinct from "strange and mysteriously unsettling". When someone discussing Freud uses the word uncanny, they have this very specific meaning in mind, not a general idea of "mysteriously unsettling". Mr. Granger (talk) 20:55, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Passed. — Ungoliant (falai) 03:39, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:cum

is "cum" the right spelling for "to have an orgasm"?? shouldn't it be "come", i thought "cum" is like "cuz" of "because('cause)"

 * 'cum' is generally the word for male or female ejaculate, with the verb 'to cum' indicating the action of ejaculating.

 * "Cum" is derived from the verb come, with the spelling modified for differentiation. It is still acceptable to write "I’m about to come", but the spelling cum has become standard. —Stephen 15:44, 17 May 2007

(UTC)

 * I think the term is actually refering to climaxing or having an orgasm, rather than semen. Female ejaculation is dubious.

First recorded use of "cum" in sexual context?? (English language)
Does anyone know the first recorded use of the word "cum" in the sexual context, in the English language?

 * First recorded use in this sense in the 1920's. —Stephen 16:29, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Could we have a reference?

 * Please sign your comments, also citation needed. If that is true then was this song -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cum_On_Feel_the_Noize -- named with an awareness of the sexual meaning of "cum"? --Spunionztastic (talk) 21:11, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Is is nice to ask "did you cum"?
My girfriend speaks English and my English is not very strong. What style is "cum"? If I ask her "did you cum?" will that sound rude or harsh? Is it a loving way of asking if she had an orgasm? -- 188.29.30.154 14:14, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * You really should be able to tell (in any language). SemperBlotto 15:50, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

 * It is rude. You should ask her, "did you climax?" —Stephen (Talk) 17:32, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

It's definitely not rude, but many girls may find it annoying. No one wants to be interrogated about how it went right after sex.

 * It is not rude or polite by itself. Since this has turned into a communication advice discussion, mine is this: Sit down with your girlfriend, when you are not having sex, and have not just finished, and are not going to immediately start, (for example, out at a restaurant or in a cafe, etc.) and tell her how much you enjoy being with her, and whatever other positive things are true for you, and that you enjoy having sex with her, and you wonder if it might be interesting and healthy to talk about your sex life together. Then tell her why you want to know if she came or not, how you will think or what you will do depending on her answer, and then ask her how she would feel about hearing this kind of question. :D 59.115.159.11 12:26, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

wæter

Etymology
From, from , from , collective of.

Noun

 * 1) water

Usage notes
The declension of this noun was subject to a couple of minor variations:

 * The inflected forms often featured an epenthetic /e/ before the /r/, especially in late Old English. For example, wæteres (gen. sg.) and wætere (dat. sg.) might appear in place of expected wætres and wætre. This reverses an earlier sound change from prehistoric Old English, where short /æ/ and /e/ were regularly lost in word-internal open syllables when the preceding syllable was stressed.

 * Similarly, the nominative/accusative plural varied between the expected form *wæter and *wæt(e)ru. The form with -u reverses another prehistoric sound change, where word-final /i/ and /u/ were lost following a heavy syllable or two light syllables. This makes wæter part of a small class of neuter nouns which vary between the (expected) unchanged plural and an innovative plural ending in -u. Other examples are wǣpn ~ wǣpnu (“weapons”), tācn ~ tācnu (“signs”), bēacn ~ bēacnu (“signals”), setl ~ setlu (“seats”), leġer ~ leġru (“couches”), wāgrift ~ wāgriftu (“curtains”), seġl ~ seġlu (“sails”), botl ~ botlu (“dwellings”), wolcn ~ wolcnu (“clouds”), weder ~ wedru (“storms”), bræġn ~ bræġnu (“brains”), wundor ~ wundru (“miracles”), tungol ~ tunglu (“stars”), þȳrel ~ þȳrlu (”holes”), and swefn ~ swefnu (“dreams”).

chromatic number

Noun

 * 1)  The smallest number of colours needed to colour a given graph (i.e., to assign a colour to each vertex such that no two vertices connected by an edge have the same colour).
 * 2) * 2004, Monia Discepoli, Ivan Gerace, Riccardo Mariani, Andrea Remigi, A Spectral Technique to Solve the Chromatic Number Problem in Circulant Graphs, Antonio Laganà, et al. (editors), Computational Science and Its Applications, ICCSA 2004: International Conference, Proceedings, Part 3, Springer, 3045, page 745,
 * The  CHROMATIC NUMBER  is the minimum number of colors by means of which it is possible to color a graph in such a way that each vertex has a different color with respect to the adjacent vertices. Such a problem is an NP-hard problem [14] and [it] is even hard to obtain a good approximation of the solution in a polynomial time [17]. Although in a lot of computational problems the cost decreases when these problems are restricted to circulant graphs [6, 9], the  CHROMATIC NUMBER  problem is NP-hard even restrecting [sic] to circulant graphs [9]. Moreover the problem of finding a good approximation of the  CHROMATIC NUMBER  problem on circulant graphs is also NP-hard.
 * 1) * 2009, Gary Chartrand, Ping Zhang, Chromatic Graph Theory, Taylor & Francis Group (CRC Press / Chapman & Hall), page 149,
 * There is no general formula for the chromatic number of a graph. Consequently, we will often be concerned and must be content with (1) determining the chromatic number of some classes of interest and (2) determining upper and/or lower bounds for the chromatic number of a graph.

User:Tennessee Elijah

My sense of urgency about every moment of time from this day through 2007 can be summed up in one word: JIGROP!

Every person on our planet needs to be challenged with this message: Jesus is God -- repent or perish!

If Christians in all nations will humble themselves enough to "advertise" this vital message in public places, it might be possible to redirect the focus of Christian --"religious" -- leaders away from activities that have nothing to do with drawing lost souls to Christ.

We need to offer a person-to-person approach to witnessing that encourages Christians of all ages and backgrounds to get involved. Will you volunteer to wear a "JIGROP" shirt or cap? Will you quote "John 3:16" when strangers ask: "What does JIGROP mean?

If you are a sincere Christian, please think about sharing this idea with your friends. I challenge you to make and experiment with a few shirts or caps in your community to see what kind of reaction you get when visiting restaurants or the mall.

Go to this site for more ideas: http://www.jigrop.com

Wiktionary:Semantic relations

There are several different kinds of semantic relations and at least the following ones are relevant to Wiktionary. Terms that are semantically related to a given term can be included both at the term’s page and at a Thesaurus page.

Synonymy

 * Definition: Each listed synonym denotes the same as this entry.
 * The equivalence may be less than perfect but should pass the practical test that "often when people say X they are referring to a thing that term Y also often refers to"; this may exclude some plesionyms, but this test allows for some variability in what "not everyone considers to be wholly differentiated."
 * Properties: symmetric and reflexive
 * Section:

Synonymy is a symmetric and reflexive relation.

Examples

 * pretty and attractive are synonyms
 * sick and ill are synonyms
 * pocketable and pocket-sized are synonyms even though some edge cases may exist in which they are differentiable; synonym in a work such as Wiktionary does not imply solely
 * produces
 * produces, useful for disambiguating between synonyms for a partial sense.

Usage
There is also another method to show synonyms, under each definition sense; see it at.

Antonymy

 * Definition: Each listed antonym denotes the opposite of this entry.
 * Properties: symmetric
 * Section:
 * Template:, as an alternative to listing synonyms in a separate section.

Antonymy is a symmetric relation.

Examples

 * up and down are antonyms
 * dead and alive are antonyms
 * parent and child are antonyms

Hypernymy

 * Definition: Each listed hypernym is superordinate to this entry. This entry’s referent is (one of) the kind(s) of things each hypernym refers to.
 * Properties:
 * Section:

Examples

 * dog is a hyponym of mammal (dogs are among the various animals which are mammals); mammal is a hyponym of animal
 * tulip is a hyponym of flower which is a hyponym of plant
 * scarlet, vermilion, carmine and crimson are hyponyms of red

Meronymy

 * Definition: Each listed meronym denotes part of this entry’s referent.
 * Properties:
 * Section:

Meronymy is a relation.

Examples

 * bark is a meronym of tree (bark is part of what makes up a tree); tree is a meronym of forest
 * elbow is a meronym of arm which is a meronym of body

Holonymy

 * Definition: Each listed holonym has this entry’s referent as a part of itself; this entry’s referent is part of each listed holonym.
 * Properties:
 * Section:

Holonymy is a relation.

Examples

 * forest is a holonym of tree (forests contain trees); tree is a holonym of bark
 * body is a holonym of arm which is a holonym of elbow

Troponymy

 * Definition: Each listed troponym denotes a particular way to do this entry’s referent.
 * Properties:
 * Section:

Troponymy is a relation.

Examples

 * to trim and to slice are troponyms of to cut
 * to slide and to spin are troponyms of to move
 * to snack and to nibble are troponyms of to eat

Coordinate term

 * Definition: Each listed coordinate term shares a hypernym with this entry.
 * Properties: symmetric and reflexive
 * Section:
 * Template:, as an alternative to listing coordinate terms in a separate section.

Most coordinate terms should not be added to this section. They should be added to categories instead. Only words that don’t belong in any other sections and are strongly related should be here.

Examples

 * man and woman are coordinate terms since they share various hypernyms, from the most obvious (for example, human, person, adult) to others (for example, vertebrate, mammal, resident)
 * Frenchman and Englishman are coordinate terms since they share various hypernyms, from the most obvious (for example, human, nationality, person) to others (for example, vertebrate, mammal, resident)
 * cat and dog are coordinate terms since they share several hypernyms, including pet, animal, mammal, and vertebrate

Usage

 * or

Otherwise related

 * Definition: Each listed “otherwise related” term semantically relates to this entry.
 * Section:

If the semantic relation is none of the above (such as, for example, plesionymic, such that it is partially overlapping on a but with important distinctions), or if you don't know exactly how a word is semantically related to the word defined by the entry you are editing, please add it to this section. However, since almost all words are semantically related to each other on some (sufficiently remote) abstract level, please use your own judgement on whether somebody possibly would find it useful.

A representative example of a pair of words whose semantic relation to each other is clear and is relevant, but they are not synonymous (or synonymous only in the loosest sense of that term), is and : usually the two concepts are coinstantiated, which makes them clearly and relevantly semantically related, but the other instances in which they are not coinstantiated, and their perennial potential not to be coinstantiated, have practical importance, so it is reasonable not to call them synonyms but rather to place them in "see also" position.

Other relevant pages on Wiktionary can also be linked here, such as appendices and categories.

Note: For any links to external sites, including sister projects like Wikipedia, use the section  (see this vote).

Usage
Note that for etymologically related words (in the same language), the header  should be used – see Etymology.
