Naming and Translation
Hello. I do not understand the translation into English of "Plata" to "River Plate", as "River Plate" does not have meaning in English. I believe "plata" means "silver", but perhaps is a second meaning I am unaware of; regardless, there must be a more meaningful translation, other than "River Plate".96.228.107.167 (talk) 17:22, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello. The use of the term "River Plate" as translation for "Río de la Plata" is... (I'm still thinking about a polite word to use here). The correct translation for the full name "Universidad Adventista del [Río de la] Plata" is "Adventist University of the Silver [River]".

The use of "River Plate" is a bad translation used by people thinking, because of simmilar spelling, that "Plata" (Silver) translated as "Plate" in English, although I don't believe they were thinking about silver dishes. This term was first used officially as the name of the Club Atlético River Plate (River Plate Athletic Club).


 * «The name was chosen because of an incident during the construction of Buenos Aires Port: one of the members had seen how the workers of Dique 3 left their duties for a while to play a football match. The boxes they were working with just said "The River Plate" (the name the English gave to the Río de la Plata) and that 'enigmatic' inscription was taken to name the new club». History of Club Atlético River Plate

Since the official name of the University is "Universidad Adventista del Plata" and that is the name used in the University Official Webpage in English, the naming of this Wikipedia Page should be that; no other naming would be appropiate to reffer officially to this institution.

Hello again. The correct translation would be "Adventist University of the Silver [River]" but, since the mentioned river is addressed as "Río de la Plata" in English (Wikipedia Article), a translation that would match this 'convention' would be (when applicable) "Adventist University of the [Río de la] Plata".

 * However, the Seventh-day Adventist Yearbook, the official English denominational publication listing all institution, continues to use the name River Plate Adventist University. http://www.adventistyearbook.org/ViewEntity.aspx?EntityID=10469 HkCaGu (talk) 07:50, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
