@Woshiyiweizhongguoren: Nice job with this translation. Thank you for it. I just had a suggestion. In addition to this comment, it would be good to add the translated page template here on this talk page. Also, I think it would also be good to use Wikidata to create an interwiki link between the article and the Chinese version. That way users can switch between them. You can learn how under the new articles heading of WP:WD. (Scroll down a little once you go to the link.) Desertborn (talk) 00:07, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, on second thought I decided to add it myself, since you had provided the link to the article. Please check it and see if I did it right, since I don't read Chinese. I also see that the automation behind Wikidata has connected the two language articles, so I think that is all done as well. Desertborn (talk) 00:12, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I believe I'm all done with the inter-wiki linking. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 10:55, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Image caption?

[edit]

The English caption for the dock has no direct relationship to the restaurant. If the original language caption is relevant to the restaurant then a better translation is needed. Also, I wonder about some of the translated names of dishes. "Turtle broiled lamb" is odd! David notMD (talk) 21:48, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@David notMD: Sorry for late reply, but the original caption on Chinese reads: "楼外楼在西湖专门养鱼的地方."
Yes, the English names of a few Chinese dishes can be odd. Aiwowo, Shaomai (literally "cooked sale"!), "field chicken" (which is actually bullfrog, by the way), etc. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 13:26, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
