When initially tagging an entry with this template, be sure to enclose each language in a {{ttbc|...}} tag to subcategorize it properly. For example, the line

*[[French]]: [[jour]] {{m}}<tt> should become <tt>*{{ttbc|French}}: [[jour]] {{m}}

The translations below need to be checked by native speakers and inserted into the appropriate table(s) above, removing any numbers. Any numbering associating translations with definitions is unreliable.
