@Bermicourt: de:Taschenwagen and fr:wagon kangourou are linked to each other on languages Peter Horn User talk 19:12, 21 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

According to the UIC glossary, "pocket wagon" is the authorised equivalent "Taschenwagen" but "kangourou" is not mentioned. In French they equate "wagon poche" to pocket wagon. Bermicourt (talk) 21:10, 21 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Bermicourt: That is where the fun begins. I have separated pocket wagon and kangourou wagon since the content of de:Taschenwagen and fr:wagon kangourou are quite different. The article fr:wagon poche exists. Another matter: Google translate rendered a certain German word as "spigot", but spigot is not the right word in this context.

No fr:wagon poche does not yet exist! Peter Horn User talk 23:38, 21 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
It has now become a redirect to fr:wagon-poche
@Bermicourt: It has for now become a redirect to fr:wagon surbaissé
@Bermicourt: That has been changed to fr:Wagon à poche Peter Horn User talk 16:45, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Bermicourt: "Zapfen" was translated, by Google translate, as "spigots". Peter Horn User talk 00:27, 22 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Google Translate should be used with care when it comes to technical texts. Zapfen may be translated various ways depending on the context. Königszapfen is "king pin"; Drehzapfen is "bogie pin" or "pivot", etc. Bermicourt (talk) 09:21, 22 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
