: As mentioned above (concerning the website that I originally gathered all the information regarding the translation of the names of the days-of-the-week), I think (but I have no basis in fact) that the translations were all (mostly?) done by ''netizens'' and it appears the result aren't up to scratch. This is my own opinion and observation. All this research and information gathering (by me) was done decades ago, and Google was still in the future. ... And all the ways the Far East languages are spelled and/or translated phonetically is so diverse, and I suspect that there are a lot of dialects that were maybe unconsciously used or referenced. Perhaps I should add some sort of disclaimer about the veracity of the data. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 01:07, 23 September 2017 (UTC) |
