[edit] Page title
The page title is rubbish, the correct translation should be Johannes Kepler University of Linz. Interestingly, the website of this mediocre "university" does not even have an English version... --91.141.105.133 (talk) 09:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, and don't even bother citing their old website at http://www.jku.at/index_e.htm where they used to call themselves Johannes Kepler University Linz – great English indeed: German-Version, Impressum, LVA-Search, Sowi - Faculty, Accomodation, Mensen... --91.141.105.133 (talk) 09:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- They'r currently creating a new page that will include an english version.
- In German it would be absolutly unthinkable to add a von here, as this is not the University OF Linz, but "just" a University IN Linz - the correct way to express this in german is to leave away the adposition. This is also true for all (or most?) other universities in the German language area (de:Universität Wien, de:Humboldt Universität Berlin, de:Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, etc.) I can only argue about the German language here, if you think an of is needed here in English, I will not argue against it. --Wirthi (talk) 14:56, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Wonderful examples indeed; see University of Vienna, Humboldt University of Berlin (official name in German: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. By the way, I'm surprised to see that there are still "universities" on this globe which do not have an English website. --Alib (talk) 13:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- As I wrote - misstranslations in my eyes (except HU Berlin perhaps), but I can be wrong. Ad englisch website: that's truly sad.But does your university have a German website? Or a Chinese? Why not? --Wirthi (talk) 14:54, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm...YOUR university will probably have a German website :-) --Wirthi (talk) 14:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
