The rhythm isn't exactly the same, but this is the only phrase I know of in English to convey the sound of the drum.

I know what it is, merdogan, but I think it can be translated. Please see my note under the Turkish original.

The English name for this song is "crazy for you"
düm tek tek
As we don't translate isolated words I guess we also shouldn't translate onomatopoeia.

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?

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

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.
