Talk:Constantine II of Greece

Pronunciation of name and title in Greek

As Κωνσταντίνος (ending in sigma) is followed by B'/δευτέρος (beginning with a voiced consonant, delta), the pronunciation should not be [ˌkonstaˈdinos ðefˈteros] but [ˌkonstaˈdinoz ðefˈteros]. Ronnlund (talk) 20:56, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

It's not that cut and dried. Either pronunciation is possible. Kostaki mou (talk) 02:04, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

His name can also be pronounced [ˌkonstanˈdinos]. (I know. I am one.) I believe this pronunciation would be regarded as somewhat conservative these days. Kostaki mou (talk) 14:47, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

French translation?

Hi! I'm pretty sure that a part of this article is a translation of the French version. Am I right? Konstantinos (talk) 16:34, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Possibly. Although I did not do the translating myself, it could be possible that someone else has? The French Wikipedia oddly has very advanced articles on Greek royalty. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 22:51, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

If there is a translation (and the use of Ricardo Mateos Sainz de Medrano or Eva Celada shows it), the French article should be credited. I am the author of the French version. And when I use the work of English Wikipedia, I credit it. It is only fair! Konstantinos (talk) 05:56, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Of course. Sadly, though, I'm unsure which parts have been, when they were and by who. - Therealscorp1an (talk) 23:32, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
