- Thank you for the ALT, yes a translation would be nice, but I have my problems with "bleibst", more literally "stay", "remain", - made me hesitate. St. Georgen sounds pretty much like just a church's name, while it is (the rather famous) seminary's, a place of education - I think that should show somehow. Will do qpq next. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
I feel like a translation helps the hook. Google translate says, "God, who was and is, and will remain." --evrik (talk) 21:57, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- I said that "remain" is more literal, but "warst" and "bist" are all of "sein" (to be), so we can - with some freedom - allude to "and ever shall be". - Little problem someone may have with the translation: not sourced, just what you and I translate. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:06, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: will you agree to 1a so we can move on? --evrik (talk) 20:42, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
- I don't have to agree. We need a reviewer, for the original and/or ALT1. I prefer the original: less religion for the Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:48, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

- Well, we need ANOTHER reviewer. I was going to give this a pass, but your first hook is less than optimal. --evrik (talk) 19:47, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
