 * So why have they got different translations? Because the first is a non-scientific use of the word, the second a more precise chemical definition. SemperBlotto 10:15, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know if there is such a distinction in English, but one-to-many translation correspondences are common (en-ru: I'm ... year(s) old) and there is no need to split the English definitions accordingly. Anyways it seems that Czech naftalen and naftalín are variants (Naftalen), and Italian naftalina is the commercial name of naftalene (Naftalene). 60.240.101.246 10:23, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
