Sorry for being rude. I found myself having forgotten to cc my answer
to people kindly replied about the phrase "temple for the mind".
Japanese version now use a phrase 知の神殿 (sacred palace of intellect),
thanks to the ideas shared by Philippe, Ivan, Mohamed and Corinne.
Thanks,
Whym

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.

Just a gentle reminder: we have an appeal from Jimmy up

possible, please... any help you can give is gratefully appreciated.
