Talk:Étude Pour les Petites Supercordes

English
Curious as to the recent removal of "the" from the English translation of the title. Was there an official translation provided which omitted it or something? Because otherwise, I'm not sure why it should be left out, considering the inclusion of les in the French title. Of course, my rudimentary knowledge highly-sketchy knowledge of French may also be clouding my vision or something. &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * I've noticed that, in French, it's required to have articles (le/la/les/et cetera) in front of nouns, whereas in English articles can be omitted sometimes. For example, if the sentence "En sciences, une théorie est un modèle ou un cadre de travail pour la compréhension de la nature et de l'humain." is translated literally, you would get "In science, a theory is a model or a frame(of)work for the comprehension of the nature and of the mankind." The two italicized "thes" doesn't seem to be necessary in English, whereas in French I think they need to be there; hence why I removed the "the" from the English translation.

 * Hmm, fair enough. Normally I'd want to subject it to the Google treatment, comparing the number of results for "Study for Small Superstrings" (6) to the number of results for "Study for the Small Superstrings" (45). However, considering this is probably the preeminent source for Clannad information, and its had "the" included for a very long time, I'm not sure how accurate those results would be.  Might want to revisit the numbers in a few months or so, but whatever works :P &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk 
 * All of the results for "Study for the Small Superstrings" come from a video linking this page, so as you've said, the higher number of hits is probably the result of the old translation.  Pikachurin    Talk  •  Contribs    19:53, Sunday, 11 September 2011 (ET)
 * Haaa, I totally missed that. Right, point yours. &#12294;  vonPreußen  &#65295;  talk
