Delete, early Tbot entry and a bad one. Someone should nominate the Italian entry it:alt werden as well, but i don't know the Italian templates. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:09, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Keep. IMO, we could keep some common words that translate from one into another languages with a different number of words. If the entry age (v) is translated as alt werden, then there should be an entry for the reverse translation. Russian: стареть, состариться, English: to age, German: no entry exists? Perhaps, the German sum of parts translation is too obvious and easy to figure out but not every user is "smart" to know this. The Japanese 年を取る is also sum of parts but more idiomatic from a Western language speaker's point of view. My point is, the entry is helpful to a German learner.--Anatoli 02:55, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

There is altern which translates precisely to the verb "to age". -- Prince Kassad 10:18, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, thanks, Prince Kassad, I forgot about that one. I guess, I'll change my vote to delete. --Anatoli 10:23, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
