Triumphlied
Thanks for Triumphlied, an interesting addition. Interesting, that the English translation has "omnipotent reigneth", while "Reich eingenommen" literally means "empire taken/occupied", which makes much more sense in the political context. With a few more inline citatios, that would be good for the "Did you know" section of the Main page, did you know? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:45, 10 February 2014 (UTC)


 * At least the King James Bible says "omnipotent reigneth". And I've used this version of the Bible as I really appreciate the English used in it. ;-) -- Orthographicus (talk) 09:32, 12 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I am not questioning that, provided the Bible source myself, - but I think it might be worth mentioning that a literal translation of "eingenommen" would be "taken/occupied", and I don't have to explain "Reich", I guess. How about more citations and DYK? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:30, 12 February 2014 (UTC)


 * As this is Wikipedia, please feel free to change whatever you want. :-) For my English is not very good, I always only tend to "start" a page whilst hoping that native speakers or those who attain a native-like level elaborate the article. -- Orthographicus (talk) 12:41, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

"Minor" edits
Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits.

Lyrics of Germanenzug
Dear Orthographicus,

Thank you for your translation of the lyrics of Germanenzug.

I have added a note below the lyrics, which reports the names of the Germanic mythology, as Bruckner-self reported on the manuscript of his work. Hopefully you are agreeing with the translation, which I added in brackets.

Are you OK with the change I made in your translation ("with the strike of Balmung" → "with sword strokes")?

Best regards from Belgium, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 12:23, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

NB:
 * Thank you too for your translation of the lyrics of Helgoland.
 * If you are interested in another translation, please have a look on the lyrics of Bruckner's Festive Cantata Preiset den Herrn. I understand German and I read it fluently, but I am not able to translate it into literary English ...


 * You don't have to ask me for permission. ;-) We are on Wikipedia. Everyone is entitled to change wherever need be. And my translations are horrible, too, but hitherto, hardly any native-speaker seems to be interested in rectifying the articles. -- Orthographicus (talk) 14:49, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Lyrics of Festive Cantata (Bruckner)
Dear Orthographicus,

I have followed your example. I just have done for Bruckner's festive cantata "¨Preiset den Herrn" the same as you did previously for his cantatas Germanenzug and Helgoland. Hopefully I did it in a not to bad English...

Best regards, --Réginald alias Meneerke bloem (To reply) 11:18, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
