Talk:I need ...

... (dots) and Persian - wrong order
Right-to-left problems again. Not sure, why the three dots appear on the wrong side of the Persian text. It should look می‌خواهم ... not ... می‌خواهم. The dots should appear before the Persian (i.e. on the right with right-to-left languages). It's the reverse order from the romanisation - "... mi-xâham". No problem with the Arabic and Hebrew, which appear in the right order, the dots appear on the left, which is AFTER the text in right-to-left languages. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 07:49, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Split?
The constructions "I need something" and "I need to do something" are translated differently in many languages. A split of translations is perhaps preferable. Wyang (talk) 00:15, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * "I need to" is the same as "I have to" isn't it? In Dutch at least there is no difference between them. 00:18, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

(Changed) The constructions "I need something" and "I need to do something" are translated differently in many languages. The English construction "I need Internet access" is oftentimes translated as "I need to browse the Internet" in other languages. A split of translations or a usage note is perhaps preferable.

 * The entry is meant to mean "I need" + object (something), e.g. "我需要...", not "I need to do something". Have changed the gloss to "I need ... (something)" for clarity. Is it better? --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 00:38, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
