Based on what follows after that phrase, I assume something like "sacred place". So, in Indonesian, I use a religion-free phrase (lucky for us we have it) "tempat suci".

Hi,
Japanese translation is nearly ready. One part I'm not sure about is the sentence "It is like a temple for the mind." What effect is the sentence supposed to have?
A word-to-word translation into Japanese might make it too much 'religious'. I'm wondering if I should try avoiding making Wikipedia look like a religion.
Cheers, Whym

PS Philippe, I sent this message to your address at wikimedia.org too, as I don't know whether you read this list regularly. Sorry if this leads to doubling your messages.
