Page title

[edit]

It seems weird to include this book under a translated name, given that it's never yet actually been translated into English. It's completely normal for Wikipedia entries to call texts by their name in their original language (e.g. Nibelungenlied, Laxdæla saga, to pick a couple of examples out of the air). I don't really mind, seeing as the book's actual title does redirect here, but I thought I'd mention it in case someone also feels strongly about it!

"The Lion has Many Ears" doesn't appear to be an official title or used in reliable sources, in which case I'd like it moved back. Siuenti (talk) 12:51, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Translation of list of reviews

[edit]
Resolved

The article includes a list of reviews. The titles of the reviews and the publications in which they appear are in Icelandic. Someone's added a request that they be translated into English. This also seems odd to me: the bibliographic information currently given is all correct, so one wouldn't want to remove the Icelandic (which would just make the reviews very hard to find); and it's not usual to include translations of references. Again, I guess there's no harm in having the tag lying around, and I won't remove it since I wrote the article, but I don't think there's much point in it myself!

The only thing that would be good to do is to translate (not replace, but add to) titles of reviews to English. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:11, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I did this and removed the tag. Alarichall (talk) 10:54, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
