Talk:isn't it so

check-trans

DCDuring changed all the translations to check-trans - wholesale. If there are any doubts about any particular translation, please discuss here. The translations I used are generally the tag questions (it's a book, isn't it?). That's why I didn't add any sense, since the expression is self-explanatory in my opinion.

There are two definitions. Is the translation the same for both in all languages? I don't believe that what is "self-explanatory" to a polylinguist is necessarily so clear to someone who knows just, say, their own language and English. If the definitions are the same, {{rfd-redundant}} is in order. DCDuring (talk) 16:08, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

isn't it so

Rfd-redundant: "Isn't it true?"

The other definition is "Isn't it that way?", but there is only one translation table. Are these two equivalent in all languages? If not, then we need two translation tables. DCDuring (talk) 16:12, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

• Keep "Isn't it true?" sense as a plain and literalist rendering, covered by TheFreeDictionary. As for the 2nd sense "Isn't it that way?", I am not sure how this is supposed to differ from the 1st sense, so maybe this one can be deleted. Or does anyone see why sense 2 should be kept? --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:00, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
• Kept: IDK why this has been open for a year when there hasn't been a single delete vote except for the nomination Purplebackpack89 22:47, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
