Notes about the translation
[edit]Being not an expert in the exact subject of this article, I had to rely on common knowledge. I used the following equivalents for Finnish words:
- voipaperi = sandwich paper (greese-proof p.)
- tussipiirrin = (lit. tusche stylus) technical pen (as I see it, using marker is not correct)
- skissi = altho it in fi-article is given to mean a certain kind of paper, it's origin appears to be the same as Swedish: skiss, English: scetch - I left that out altogether (tracing paper, drafting paper... dunno)
- after secong thought muovitussit (plur., lit. "plastic tusche") hardly means a polymer ink (altho there are p. inks :-), but just "ink used to write on plastic surface", I don't know. I let it stay in FIN for now.
- tussi has double meaning also in FIN: both ink and, colloquially, felt-tip (fiber-tip) pens, well... I hesitated where it possibly meant the latter.
- stylii and styluses are now both used. which is right?
- I left out at least following, alternative Finnish names for things, as it's doubtful if they have direct English equivalents: skissi, terässkissi, puolikuulto, hauenleuka, säätökolmio.
In my opinion nothing important was lost. --J. Sketter (talk) 21:15, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
- As a writer of original Finnish article couple of explanations:
- "Skissi" = sketching paper for pencil drawings. Tracing paper is thicker, polished paper to be used with technical pens and ink.
- "Muovitussi" = technical pen to be used on plastic drafting sheets (hardened tip)
- Alternative terms were slangy impressions, with one exception: "säätökolmio"= adjustable protractor. Better to be left out.Riisipuuro (talk) 18:29, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Next step
[edit]Well the Finnsih text is now here in full. Someone who masters the English well should check the text, and try to fix the few remaining problems. I'll remove useless templates. --J. Sketter (talk) 21:15, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
