One big problem

[edit]

"Magistrale" is not an English word, and I'd guess that it's very doubtful if it ever will be, so no English-speaker really knows what's meant. Maelli (talk) 10:13, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article makes it sound as if it's called Magistrale for Europe in English, which it clearly isn't. Also, why 'MoE' as the short form? Where does the O come from? --93.218.153.222 (talk) 14:04, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.magistrale.org/ the website calls it Main Line for Europe in English, but in German it retains the French term, despite it not being a word in German either. The company that writes the material is German. Maybe they changed the name afterwards because they saw that English people didn't get it, or a German wrote this article and thought it made perfect sense in English too. So, you can edit this. I won't do it because I fear breaking the links from other pages that use the old name if I do. --Formagella (talk) 23:43, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I started this and the problem was there was no obvious English translation. Magistrale is clearly a verbose word in both French and German, not a normal word for a railway in either langage. I have moved it to "main line", but "trunk line" is another possibility.--Grahame (talk) 00:22, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
