Many thanks for translating this article ;) I've write the french version. If you have any question for me, you can find me on my french "discussion" page ;) --Tsaag Valren (talk) 06:49, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; it looks like you've already cleaned up some parts I wasn't sure about. Are you sure "petit peuple" only means fairies? "little people" exists in english too, and includes goblins, brownies, etc. who we might not see as fairies in english. (Maybe the french cognate for "fairy" covers more area"?)

"Little people" include goblins, brownies, etc ? Oh, sorry, you've right. In french we have a big "definition" problem about the fairies : first people who studied fairies have translated "fairies" by "fée". But fée" in France, it mean a beautiful whoman who looks like human, and in England fairies are small (sorry for my bad english u_u). Si we use "little people" to "include" (what's the english for "inclure" ?) the english fairies in the definition --Tsaag Valren (talk) 16:50, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Another information to help you : La Grande Encyclopédie des fées (The Great Encyclopedia of Faeries) is the only one who seems translated en english, by Pavilion in England and Simon & Schuster in the US. Details of editions are here : http://fr.wiki.x.io/wiki/R%C3%A9f%C3%A9rence:La_grande_encyclop%C3%A9die_des_f%C3%A9es --Tsaag Valren (talk) 17:26, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I want to chime in here. The Wiki article mentions the French title of The Great Encyclopedia of Faeries. It would be nice to include the translated en English title. I recently purchased this book and it is amazing. Wiki please include the English title as well. Cmalec6 (talk) 01:36, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
