[[Translating:Translators' forum]]

I have moved the discussion on verb forms to the Support page, so that this is not lost when the page is deleted. I have copied the general discussion about verb forms to FAQ, and done a section of links for translators. The examples could be copied to that section also, but I am easy either way.

Concerning putting the examples on the language portals, I am not sure how much we want to encourage translation teams to record conventions and special things like PLURAL on the language portals in English as well as in their own languages. In practice, very few translation teams have made notes even in their own language. Getting us to put notes in a native language plus English might take some doing!

Some notes on Welsh verb forms are already on the Welsh language portal, in Welsh. So the notes on Welsh examples of verb forms on translators' forum can be deleted as far as I'm concerned. They would have been more useful if there had been more conributions than just Welsh and Colgonian.

There's no need for all languages to have standards in English too. We now have in the FAQ some suggestions about what standards each language should define for verbs, we can move the examples for German and Welsh to their portals (subpages) just as examples to be linked from the FAQ, if not used by those translators.

OK

I urge to keep the English text. It may be helpful to both translators to all lanuages to read what others have choosen, as well as general public. Who know, for which languages there will be appropriate information, if we only offer a place where knoledgeable people can leave them?

I think that Nemo's latest suggestion is to create English sub-pages of language notes in each language portal for the languages which you and I gave examples for, and shift the examples there, and create links to the notes at the bottom of the FAQ section. Sounds workable.

I have created a sub-page to the Welsh portal and copied the notes on Welsh there. I've added a link to these notes to the FAQ.
