	turkishmiss Number of messages: 2132	The English name for this song is "crazy for you" dÃ¼m tek tek As we don't translate isolated words I guess we also shouldn't translate onomatopoeia.

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	The reason why we don't translate individual words is that they can be found in a dictionary, but onomatopoeia cannot, so I don't see why we shouldn't translate it if it's translatable. Francky, what do you think? CC: Francky5591

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	P.S. The English name for the song is irrelevant in this case, as it's not a translation of the Turkish name.

	Francky5591 Number of messages: 12396	Hi kaf! Yes, I agree about the fact this request was acceptable. I think (and I told Lilian a few minutes ago about another text) we admins should leave a note in the remarks field from the original text, eg : "Admin's note : accepted request". So that the next admin to see this text won't remove it thinking it is out of frame.
