Talk:Les Jolies Eaux

"Les 'Jollies Eaux", are you sure? Frightfully British. Pronounced jollies too, I imagine? --Wetman 22:22, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * These islands do have a bit of a french past... --T-rex 00:58, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * ...but the spelling really is Les Jollies Eaux then? Too odd. --Wetman 08:25, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * There is only one "l" as per the listing on the official site. Olborne 22:43, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

"Loosely" translates as...
I have removed the unnecessary qualification "loosely" from

"The villa's name is a French term which loosely translates to ‘beautiful waters’."

"Beautiful waters" perfectly and adequately translates "Les jolies eaux" in every sense required by "translate". French is not some mystical and ineffable language which cannot possibly be translated to other languages; if there were, hypothetically, some other, missed but important connotation that was somehow relevant to the current context, then it ought to be mentioned explicitly.
