 * I have used a blog as a reference to prepare a list of translation/translators. I have verified that these translations are available in respective languages. Due to lack of any citation regarding this elsewhere, I have used a blog as a reference. I think this translation table would not require any high quality reference either so please consider this reference as an exception. --Gazal world (talk) 17:18, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
