Deletion debate
Tagged by User:Rodasmith. Unused, virtually identical and problematic. They create a translation table that can't be edited in the normal way, only "assisted". So if you make a mistake, I don't think you can remove it. Anyway delete unused and not needed. Mglovesfun (talk) 06:31, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
