Ah, I see. Yes, that makes better sense. There's still some redundancy 
in it because the translations from a Polish word into all languages 
would include a translation into English which would also have to be 
added on the page about the Polish word in the English Wiktionary, but 
I'm happier with that.

I hope that convoluted sentence made sense.

Oh, good :)

So, uhm ... I suppose people should really get together and agree that 
this policy should also be pursued on the English Wiktionary (and 
possibly all others too). Otherwise the incredible redundancy will even 
be complemented with outrageous inconsistency. :/
