– Doubt German really is correct use here per WP:GLOBAL. These are not confined to just German language. Until English language alternatives may be researched and presented, would Latin as lingua franca be more suitable, as seen in Pater Patriae? Chicbyaccident (talk) 01:23, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Wohlgeboren → Spectabilis
 * Hochwohlgeboren → Magnificus
 * Hochgeboren → Illustrissimus


 * Hesitant – I'd need to see more evidence about usage in English-language sources. Otherwise, leave it. Dicklyon (talk) 04:19, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose: the articles primarily deal with German usage and the titles reflect that. And why should Latin be used? The Almanach de Gotha was written in French. Opera hat (talk) 16:53, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Odd that the Latin equivalent of "high-born" should be "most illustrious" when it ranks below erlaucht which means simply "illustrious". Opera hat (talk) 16:55, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, that is what the article says. Anyhow, it is clear that the topic is not confined to German language, despite what the WP:WEIGHT of the current status of the article indicates. Chicbyaccident (talk) 17:07, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * A specific foreign-langage term may be widely used in English to describe a topic globally, think of sprachraum or the T–V distinction. What do English-language sources say? Kim Post (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:08, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
