German translation?
Hi Xuxalliope, I appreciate your help on the infobox former subdivisions issue over at Serbia (Territory of the German Military Commander). Your recommendation has been supported by Buckshot06 over at MILHIST, and we've implemented it. We'd like some further help with a couple of other things. One is that I notice you have good German skills, and we need a translation of the official name of this territory. The WP:RS are here Talk:Serbia_(Territory_of_the_German_Military_Commander). The second is who we can go to for help with modifying the infobox to accommodate more leaders. Peacemaker67 (talk) 03:54, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to be of assistance. I take it "Gebiet des Militärbefehlshabers Serbiens" is the most widely used name? I'd just like to mention that the German Wikipedia chose to name the article Serbia im Zweiten Weltkrieg (Serbia in WWII), while other languages have simply used the equivalent of Serbia (1941-1944). The translation of the name you've provided is correct, but any way you translate it is too long to be convenient/accessible. I also want to point out a bit of ambiguity in the name, as Serbiens can apply to both the military command aspect and to the territory in general. We can rule out the Serbian army being in control of its own nation, but it also means that the Militärbefehlshabers Serbiens is a specific position in the German military.
 * The original creators of the infobox are more than 6 months inactive on Wikipedia, so we can just edit it ourselves. I have looked at the coding, and it requires some familiarity in order to avoid creating unexpected problems. Other than that, it should be quite simple to accommodate additional deputies. I will look at it later this afternoon if you don't get to it by then. Xuxalliope (talk) 12:04, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the translation. I'm afraid the infobox syntax is beyond me. I'd appreciate your help. Peacemaker67 (talk) 22:12, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
