Linea 23:
I changed the latin form of the title of Napoleon. It was originally "imperator Franciae" of "Emperor of France." However, Napoleon was "Emperor of the French," "France" being "Francia" in latin, so it should take the plural 1st declension genitive ending "arom," or "imperator Franciarom." [anon]
:Thanks for telling us. Your alteration was wrong because "imperator Franciarum" means "emperor of the Frances". But you may be right that a change was needed: perhaps someone else will comment on this. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 21:35, 22 Martii 2011 (UTC)
Yes, you're right about that translation, but then should the correct title in Latin not be "imperator Francorum," that, I believe, should be "Emperor of the French." [anon]
::I believe you are right. I cannot find via Google any evidence that he used this Latin title: examples of "imperator Francorum" all apply to other rulers (from Charlemagne to Louis XIV), not to Napoleon (except various Wikimedia pages, but "Wikipedia is not a reliable source"). So, for the moment, we'll make the change but indicate that it is our translation from the French. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 15:26, 23 Martii 2011 (UTC)
