"Buzzword of the current American presidential election due to 80% of the country thinking it is on the wrong path in the wake of George W. Bush administration" - would this be an inappropriate definition to add? 60.232.68.158 03:55, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

UK audio file[edit]
Can somebody please post an audio file (UK English) for this word?
I am just wondering whether it sounds like "chance", "France", "can't" (as pronounced in UK, of course) or if it is closer to US English.

- You can request audio pronunciations by add
{{rfap}}(request for audio pronunciation) to the entry. If you want to specify more detail, such as in this case that you would like the UK pronunciation, then this can be done by using the second parameter - e.g.{{rfap|UK pronunciation please}}. I've add such a request to the page on your behalf. - As to your question, I unfortunately don't have a microphone to record my speech, but in the UK (deprecated template usage) change is pronounced like it is in the USA, and it doesn't sound like any of the other words you mention. The only exception to this is in the set phrase (deprecated template usage) bureau de change, which is pronounced similarly to the French. Thryduulf 00:18, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
transitive for clothes?[edit]
Can be used for babies, e.g., I changed the baby (the nappie)? Or also my son told me to change him, as his shoes were wet from the rain puddles. But not in the meaning of the changeling (I changed/swapped/exchanged my son for another). Sobreira (talk) 17:21, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
German Translation[edit]
Should wechseln and Wechsel be added to the German translations? --Infinitum11 (talk) 20:21, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
