I think both the mw and freq bands should be moved to the end. They apply to all the glosses. Tangmu (talk)
- I undid my change. 台 in front of the word turns out to be a lot less frequent when I do a Google search, and it will take me too much time to determine if it is valid. I (or someone) need to do more research some times before making changes. --Lemuel (talk) 01:49, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
For ease of future reference, those undone additions that require more research are:
2en comp.
2df [en] firewall
2df [fr] pare-feu
2mw tái [台]
I notice that Sarah's French translation so far has only one term corresponding to three in English:
df [en] firewall; bulkhead; dam
df [fr] mur de feu
Should other French terms be added for "bulkhead" and "dam"? What's the difference between "mur de feu" and "pare-feu"?

On my PC, Wenlin says "fire wall/bulkhead/dam". This appears to have been changed to "firewall; bulkhead; dam". But a 防火墙 is presumably something that is designed specifically to prevent the spread of fire, whereas dams generally aren't. Is it possible that the original definition was supposed to be interpreted as "firewall; fire bulkhead; fire dam"? I see the following, for example, on the Web:
防火墙 fire bulkhead; fire dam; fire division wall @ https://bkrs.info/slovo.php?ch=%E9%98%B2%E7%81%AB%E5%A2%99
It seems that a "fire dam" is a part of a combustion engine. Here are some quotes from the Web ... "You need to use gaskets to seal the fire dam to the cylinder sleeve." - "This fire dam protects the seal from some of the combustion by-products which might otherwise get to the seal." - "Cylinder head gasket fire ring leakage will result in combustion gasses ... Figure 2 — Cylinder Liner Fire Dam and Coining Bead Cross-Section" - "Cylinder Kit Part # MU5MK4236: flanged liner with fire dam", etc.
Are we sure that 防火墙 really means "dam", not "fire dam"?
