Talk:Force Publique

message: "With Belgium occupied, the contribution to the Allied cause by the Free Belgian Forces from the Belgian Congo was primarily an economic one."
Could someone clarify what exactly is meant by economic contribution here and give an example? 76.110.200.142 (talk) 23:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Colonial Forces in WW2 

message: I notice that at some point last year the title of this article was changed from "Force Publique" to the literal English translation "Public Force". I wonder if this was a good idea. Throughout its long (and often unhappy) history this colonial force was almost inevitably referred to by its French language title. This was the case in English language books, media reporting and publications as well as Belgian. I know that it is English Wikipedia practice to normally translate foreign language terms and expressions but in this case the blandly unrecognisable title adopted will just make it harder for readers to find. Any views? Buistr (talk) 02:08, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
