Talk:bless you

Should a translation be a literal translation of "(God) Bless You", or whatever idiom is used for sneezing in that language? For example, the Chinese find sneezes unremarkable so the translation is void, right?


 * Well, bless you has more than one meaning; one is a response to a sneeze, the other is literal. Only one is on this page at the moment, but once that's rectified, both would go here, with the appropriate number.  —Muke Tever 23:40, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

In response to the question why a new def was added at #1, the oldest, most basic meanings should come first, extended meanings last. Renumbering is truly a pain but until the wiki can handle it for us somehow we'll probably have to put up with it. &mdash; Hippietrail 01:48, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
