Entry on English wiktionary for the French translation of an English term. The English term already has an entry (en:sulphuric_acid) and fr.wikt already has an article (appropriately) on that language's term (fr:acide sulfurique). DMacks 00:59, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The French Wiktionary is not relevant, it is for the use those who speak French natively. Many English-speakers who might want to know about the term acide sulfurique know little French and can’t use French Wiktionary easily. The English term en:sulphuric acid has a right to a translation section, and the foreign terms in the translation section generally meet the criteria to have an entry here. —Stephen (Talk) 01:50, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The entry is properly listed as a French term. Each language's Wiktionary is meant to be an everything-else-to-[that language] kind of dictionary, so the English Wiktionary will (ideally) include terms in all languages, described in English, while the French Wiktionary will include terms in all languages, described in French, and so on and so forth. -- Eiríkr Útlendi | Tala við mig 02:03, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
