Talk:Bihar al-Anwar

Move to Oceans of Light (book)

I think it should stay the same as it is, because, when somebody does a google search, or any general search, looking for "Bihar ul-Anwar", they will come to this page. If we change the title, they probably wont, and will go to other pages that instead have the title, and show up on the querry results. But we can of course put the translation in the text. No problem with that.--Zereshk 22:31, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

How about having a redirect with that title? Then we wont have that problem.

Dont you agree that it is more pleasent to the eyes and give a much more soothing impression to read "Oceand of Light" than "random thing i cant pronounce" for the english speaking audience here on english WP? it definitly strikes a stronger cord with me.... Would'nt it be translated in a english version for a english audience? Just a thought... Peace! --Striver 00:22, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Of course it is more pleasing to the eyes indeed. But names and titles, as a rule, generally never get translated and are retained. So for example, Der Erlkönig, will stay "Der Erlkönig" in all matters, instead of the name The Erl King, which is what it means.

But I think a redirect is a good idea.--Zereshk 18:19, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
