MartinusWiki:Source languages and translations

This page explains the (*) marker shown after some references to Martinus's works.

For practical guidance on working with English and Danish source texts, see Translating Martinus works.

References to English sources

An unmarked reference links directly to an English text in the official Martinus online library. The reference gives the work and section only; readers can follow the link to read the cited passage.

References marked as Danish sources

The marker (*) means that the reference links to the Danish original. It is used when the cited work or passage is not available through the official English online library. The marker identifies the source language without repeating a long explanation in every reference list. For short books, the Danish book title is also shown directly in the reference.

The Danish original may be cited when it is the available primary source for a claim. The citation does not imply that an English translation exists, nor that any wording in the article is an official English translation. Where an English text is available, MartinusWiki links to that text instead.

Scope

The marker concerns the language of the linked source, not the language of the article. It can occur for later volumes of Livets Bog, later volumes of The Eternal World Picture, short books, lectures, and other Danish-only material.
