Talk:Wind Granma

Vint Granma
ヴィント (vinto) cannot be translated as "wind". If it was "wind" it would be ウィンド (windo). The name of the ship should be translated as Vint Granma. DewClamChum (talk) 02:06, December 3, 2019 (UTC)

In English, wind = windo in Japanese. In German, wind = vinto in Japanese. --Klobis (talk) 04:31, December 3, 2019 (UTC)

It would depend on what the first part of the ship's name is in reference to. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 04:37, December 3, 2019 (UTC)

Vint is a word in several languages which can mean wind. I don't really see why it matters how German people pronounce wind? This is an English wiki translating a Japanese comic and there's no evidence that the word is meant to be pronounced how the Germans pronounce it. It seems inconsistent to translate it as Wind despite the fact that it's literally romanized as Vint, which again can mean wind in several languages. DewClamChum (talk) 20:00, December 3, 2019 (UTC)

Is there an image of the romanization? It has to be Vint if it's romanized like that. Translating it as Wind is the same dumb logic as the people claiming Marines isn't English and should be Navy. SeaTerror (talk) 20:23, December 3, 2019 (UTC)

There's no official romanization, and we will probably never see one. "Vint" means "wind" in Crimean Tatar, Friulian, Picard, and Walloon while "wind" is used in English, German (in this case pronounced as "vind", so kana fits perfectly), and Dutch. It's more likely for Oda to take a name for the ship from the second group of languages. Cdwp22 (talk) 20:36, December 3, 2019 (UTC)

Germans say Vint but spell it as Wind - thus, our current spelling assumes that the ship's name is based on the German word. The languages that Cdwp lists that use the spelling "Vint" are all extremely minor, so I'm much more inclined to go with the German spelling.

Alright, fair enough. DewClamChum (talk) 23:52, December 3, 2019 (UTC)
