Keep as a translation target in Category:English non-idiomatic translation targets using {{translation only}} for translations, such as Japanese: 外貨 (ja) (がいか, gaika). The number of idiomatic translations warrant this. Non-idiomatic translations can be broken up into components, e.g. Russian: иностра́нная валю́та f (inostránnaja valjúta), if they are kept or added later. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 01:57, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as I don't believe translation-only entries should exist (though the community disagrees with me). PseudoSkull (talk) 02:00, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, because the translation target argument is silly. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 04:18, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Anatoli. DonnanZ (talk) 07:48, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Silly or not, we have a number of "translation targets" already. Our policies and practices should not be applied in a haphazard manner. It seems that many of the translations are also SOP's but for example Catalan divisa is not. --Hekaheka (talk) 13:32, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Anatoli. Some SOPs still deserve translation-only entries.--Jusjih (talk) 02:00, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a translation hub, and thus per Anatoli. I count Hungarian deviza toward the rationale but not German Fremdwährung. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:08, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See #Sidebar: clarity on "translation targets" above. Aren't we ready for a full discussion and vote on this issue yet? — SMUconlaw (talk) 09:27, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
