Translations of Holland and Netherlands

Presumably, the translations at Holland should use {{trans-see}} and all the translations moved over to the Netherlands entry. —CodeCat 14:19, 6 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

@CodeCat That may be obvious to you as a native Dutch speaker, but with The Netherlands and Holland being synonyms in English how should we decide where that translation table goes? Not saying I disagree, I just honestly don't know. W3ird N3rd (talk) 14:35, 5 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Netherlands is the name of the kingdom, two of whose provinces are North Holland and South Holland. Strictly speaking, the other provinces (Zealand, North Brabant, (Dutch) Limburg, Utrecht, Flevoland, etc.) are not part of "Holland", though "Holland" is often used abusively to mean the whole kingdom of the Netherlands.

Resolved, it seems the translation tables have been worked on by now. — surjection??21:27, 8 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
