@Jberkel, Lingo Bingo Dingo, could you please add translations to the quotes here? (If you're pressed for time, I can translate them, but I'd still want you to look it over.) —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 07:27, 4 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sorta done, but the first and third translations are rather rough and could definitely use some improvement. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 09:38, 4 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Metaknowledge I appreciate that you've polished the English, but I'm confused by your rendition of "der Motor eines Pkws" in the first translation and the omission of "wie gesagt" in the translation of the second quote. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 06:40, 9 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Lingo Bingo Dingo: I was translating into idiomatic English rather than cleaving to a perfectly literal translation, which would sound a bit awkward in the second quote (although I'm sure it would be acceptable in the first quote). If you think we should strive to be as literal as reasonably possible, you can feel free to undo those. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 16:49, 9 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
