Talk:Maréchal des logis

Anglicisation
English translations should only be used if it is the common term or at least commonly heard. In the case of this rank, "Marshal-of-Lodgings" is never, ever heard. It would be utterly unfamiliar to anyone, English-speaking or otherwise. Where, therefore, is the logic in titling this article with a term that is never used? I have moved it back. From Naming conventions: "Name your pages in English and place the native transliteration on the first line of the article unless the native form is more commonly recognized by readers than the English form." (Italics mine). This is very definitely the case here, as it is with, for instance, SS ranks, which all use the German words, not the very approximate, inaccurate and clumsy English translations. I have studied military history for many years and have never seen Maréchal-des-logis translated into English (it is either left in the French or rendered as "Sergeant", its equivalent), so there is no reason for us to do so. -- Necrothesp 23:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC)


 * If this page remains, it should somehow be linked to Maréchal des Logis. Trying to add the language link prompted for a conflict to solve. 2A01:E0A:6:8070:62F2:62FF:FE42:3691 (talk) 11:20, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
