[Wikipedia-l] Il love you - in many languages

[Sabine Cretella]

Here is a list I collected approx. a year ago - not all useable, but 
most of them. At this moment I just don't have the time to start a page 
with another phrase, so if someone would like to create it on any 
wiktionary using language templates like {{en}} etc., please let us know 
the link (so we can easily transfer it). During the week-end I can 
record the sentences in German and Italian (vor St. Valentine and I love 
you).
