Talk:Derveni Krater

message: Feel free to use these notes to improve the translation if you can. 
*Don't know translation for "inv. B1" in caption of image of the krater.
:*It's the accession number. "Inv." means "inventory", which is the French standard way to present accession numbers (every museum has its own way of assigning them). Jastrow 20:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *"Lors" means "when it was discovered".Jastrow 20:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *Right.  I got confused because I thought my dictionary defined "lors" as "depuis";  actually it was talking about "depuis lors".  --Coppertwig 12:37, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

text: *I changed it to "cast" but don't know enough about metalworking to know whether this is correct. --Coppertwig 15:18, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

text: *Yep. Jastrow 20:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

text: *Abstract ("most important").  Jastrow 20:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

text: **I changed it to "most of all" to remove this ambiguity in the English.  However, I find it still doesn't sound quite right:  perhaps it should be "most interesting of all" or "most figurative of all" or "interestingly" or "most prominently" or something else.  How about "most prominently"?
*4th paragraph 2nd sentence:  "wearing only one shoe", literally more like "shod on a single foot":  the French does not specify whether it is a shoe, boot or sandal.  (or ski for that matter. :-)  Maybe sandal would be a better guess.  Or "with one bare foot".  --Coppertwig 19:21, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I notice that some other pages, such as Hellenistic Civilization, have a bunch of language tags at the bottom which you can see if you edit the page.  I don't know how they work.  I wonder if these need to be added to this page and to Hellenistic Art. --Coppertwig 19:59, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: There are some links at the bottom (in External Links) which only work in the French Wikipedia.  Maybe they should just be deleted.  --Coppertwig 20:04, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't get how the fonts and things work in the bibliography.  If I edit it, I see a lot of Greek letters.  If I display it, I see things like "template: ISBN".  Clearly it's not displaying as it should, but maybe someone who is bilingual in Frenchwiki and Englishwiki needs to look at it.  :-)   --Coppertwig 20:08, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Coppertwig, let me know if you still see this problem. There is no Template:ISBN, ISBN is magic in the wiki language. Some stuff brought across may have referred to a French template that has no English equivalent, but I hope I caught all of them. EdJohnston 21:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's fine.  Jastrow "tweaked" it shortly after I did the translation, so the bibliography displays OK with Greek letters and all.  --Coppertwig 13:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
