Dear Jimmy,
It would seem that this question should go to deutsch-l,
or Andreas Flack at
sonic(a)arcormail.de
who speaks both German and English well, and is the co
ordinator of the German translation project. Or,
perhaps, it has? It will take less than a minute to come
up with an answer.
As Ever,
Ruth Ifcher

Sonic,
How would one say "This is the German language Wikipedia" in German?
I can make all of these point to the same place, but we will still
want one of them to be 'canonical'.

either the latter or simply
de.wikipedia.com (which is the ccTLD and
used for
many German divisions of international sites (like de.yahoo.com)). Both
versions sound funny, because deutsche implies a female gender while
Wikipedia is no German word and thus has no gender (of course you could
create one, but it still sounds strange), while "deutsch" has no
grammatical
relation to "Wikipedia" at all (in German, two nouns cannot be placed
next to
each other).
