Could someone translate the much better German-Version? -- 84.171.112.219 ( talk) 18:52, 27 February 2008 (UTC) reply

This FAOL tag should help. Spencer ^{T♦ C} 02:21, 4 March 2008 (UTC) reply

The definition of "pneumonia" is often described as a '... lung inflammation caused by a virus, bacteria or irritant.' ^[1]

Etymologically, the usage of "pneumonia" in idiopathic interstitial pneumonia is correct; the word "pneumonia" is derived from "pneumon" (lung) and the suffix "-ia" (condition). ^[2] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shayno ( talk • contribs) 17:12, 8 July 2008 (UTC) reply

I'd like to translate the original article from German into English to flesh out the talk. Since this is a major edit of the English page, my understanding is I need to bring it up on the talk page before proceeding. Any objections? Corneliariedl ( talk) 23:48, 12 May 2012 (UTC) reply
