Party name[edit]

"Parti des sans Parti" is translated here as "the Party without a Party". Would a better translation be "the Party for those without a Party"? Ground Zero | t 20:28, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I'd rather just use the French name than attempt to translate it, but that is up to other people. Bkissin (talk) 22:32, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since this is English Wikipedia, the french name will be meaningless to many readers, so I think it is incumbent on us to translate it so that readers get the meaning. I will majke this change, but be careful not to present this as an official translation as there does not seem to be one. Ground Zero | t 19:26, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I sort of see your point, however think about the other QC political parties. We don't call the PQ the Quebecois Party. In the case of Quebec solidaire, it seems as if a compromise was reached where it reads "the party and media outlets use the name "Québec solidaire" in both French and English, but the party's name is sometimes translated as "Solidarity Quebec" or "Quebec Solidarity" in English-language media."

I think that there is less need in those cases because Anglophones will be able to get the gist from the French name, which is not the case here. I'm not opposed to providing explanatory translations in those cases though. Ground Zero | t 02:51, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
