History:CSG Standard/Translation
From MusicBrainz Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search
This is for a very rough project in the beginning stages...
Essentially, to build up a table of CSG-used text in various languages - not libretto text, etc, but "in"/"a"/"from"/etc, keys, instruments, and other words needed to be able to take any:
- Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551 "Jupiter": I. Allegro vivace
and output:
- Sinfonie No. 41 in C dur, K. 551 "Jupiter": I. Allegro vivace
- Sinfonia No. 41 en Do mayor, K. 551 "Jupiter": I. Allegro vivace
- etc.
so we can then work on translating from any source language to any desired language for classical.

(*) note that in French, Ut is the old denomination for Do. Both are correct. Ut is still used in technical or theoretical terms.
- If a work were to be machine translated from English to French, which would be more correct? Ut or Do? -- BrianSchweitzer 08:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Is it worth adding ordinals? Even in english they can bear little resemblance to cardinal numbers, and it only gets worse in some languages, where there's multiple cases and genders to be dealt with. -- KrazyKiwi
