Thread:User talk:Kephir/"Translations" instead of "definitions"/reply (2)

tl;dr

Okay, I did actually read. And actually I could not care less about lack of capital letters: in fact, I would rather have regular definitions be initial-lowercase. What I do dislike is inconsistency, ambiguous translations, definitions which do not convey nuance, and ones implying exact correspondence between words where there is none. You gave "apple" as an example. You mean the fruit or the tree? Many languages have separate words for the two; changing the definition from "apple" to "An apple." does not help the reader notice that at all. There is also the issue of how different languages convey (in)definiteness, to which Equinox referred.

And I do not understand how initial-lowercase definitions are contrary to our motto. The motto can be realised in a lot of ways.
