[edit] Translation

I've translated some stuff from fr.wikipedia.org, their article is featured standard. It is a rough translation and I'm not great at French so feel free to chop and change it, or even revert it if you think its that bad :) - FrancisTyers 23:06, 24 December 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Quotes

I've translated the quotes from French. They presumably were translated from German. This could lead to a double translation effect. It would be nice if we could find, or get, the quotes translated direct from the original German. - FrancisTyers 01:18, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] small detail

If MSM was born in Frankfurt, how can she be Swiss-born? Her father was Swiss, clearly, but does that make her Swiss-born? Or is she German-born because that was the soil on which her mother gave birth? Mamawrites 13:20, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I've removed that as it isn't mentioned in the de or fr versions. You are right, she should correctly be German-born. - FrancisTyers 14:50, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
