Comments
For formatting I just used the format used in CreditTranslations/Italian, any changes, suggestions to improve readability accepted :). Also some of these are not 100% certain, suggestions, corrections and comments are also accepted (and needed). Hopefully at some point another editor that knows greek will be able to help. -- daydreamer 12:03, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
As far as the instrument translations list is concerned some of those instruments may need addition to the instrument tree--Daydreamer 12:24, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
