From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am unsure of the translations to English of the names of the various islands, cannot find English names in literature and have therefore translated them literally. A problem arises with Centrumeiland and Middeneiland. Centrum means both centre and town centre. Midden means both centre and middle, much in the same way as the word middle does in English. To name an island Town centre island seems strange in English, so I have opted for Centre and Middle island respectively. Bikerams 10:03, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
