Talk:Bernard Etxepare

Translated from Basque Wikipedia Page
I did a quick and dirty (very dirty) translation of the Basque Wikipedia page on Etxepare, and it needs cleaning up. An edit by someone who actually speaks Basque would be nice. Madler 12:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * A couple of phrases were opaque, so I just left them out.
 * I couldn't get my head around the old Basque in the poem, so I translated the Spanish translation by Koldo Izaguirre which can be found here.
 * The English translation of the Latin title of his book ("On the primitive language of the Basques") is obviously wrong. I don't speak Latin, but the Dutch Wikipedia page on Etxepare has it as something like "principles of Basque," so that's what I went with.


 * Done. I might add the foreword and the Sautrela at some point but I think it'll do for now. Dunno if we can loose the stub tag, so little is known about Etxepare... I doubt we'll ever find a lot more. Akerbeltz (talk) 15:10, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

...spent the majority of his life...
I've just fixed a small obvious typo. I also changed a piece of wording in § Life that was ungrammatical and made no clear sense:
 * His birthplace is the Etxeparia farmhouse in Bussunarits-Sarrasquette, and to have spent the majority of his life in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port,

"His birthplace "? No. I made it "and he spent", but it could also have been supposed to be "and he is thought to have spent...". But I don't know Basque, and I'm guessing. --Thnidu (talk) 18:56, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Thnidu, I added some sense to the sentence in tune with the Basque language version, and removed a red link that looks pointless and ambiguous (unless it refers to that specific church...). Regards Iñaki LL (talk) 21:59, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
