Talk:Folding bridge

remaining chores list:


 * 1) Hoernbridge -> Hoern b/Bridge -> Hörn Bridge (using Umlaut)
 * 2) Norway dock -> Norwegenkai

 * what about using proper Umlaut (does this usually display ok?)
 * for Norwegenkai I am tempted to use the name (and give the translation once).
 * maybe include the section on transporter bridge as well...

Translation and factual remarks
Should have the length of the scenic route.

Re: Umlaut useage As this is an English encyclopedia, I think that the primary references should be "Hoern.." and once in paranthetical introduction as (Hörn) with the umlaut.

Re: British vs US English (centre vs center), I tend to use as is appropriate to the article theme (e.g. British in Canadian articles), so this appears appropriate in this european context.

Re: Bridge type vs specific bridge. As this is the only bridge of this type that we know of so far, this article combines both bridge type and bridge-specific articles. When more are found, it should be split off into its own article
