Dear colleagues, friends, mates,
This is not strictly scientific, but rather educational stuff:
To illustrate the global dimension of the world oceans and seas as an introduction for a new museum project (see www.ozeaneum.de <http://www.ozeaneum.de/> ) we're searching to include as many as possible ocean names in different languages. We would be very grateful if you could please take three minutes, copy the following list of the seas to a word-file - and add the names in your national language or dialect and lettering in Italian, French, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, Russian, Suaheli, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Spanish, Visayan, Indonesian, Finnish, Hungarian, etc. etc.:
Atlantic Ocean
Pacific Ocean
Indian Ocean
Arctic Ocean
Antarctic Ocean
European Mediterranean Sea
Central American Sea (i.e. Gulf of Mexico & Caribbean)
Red Sea
This would help a lot as it's difficult to collect these names if you're not poly-lingual yourself. If anyone is interested in the collection I'll be happy to pass it around.
Thanks very much in advance for your help
With best regards fro the Baltic Sea
Götz B. Reinicke
