[Translators-l] Reminder on the urgent Jimmy

[Ivan Lanin]

Based on what follows after that phrase, I assume something like "sacred place". So, in Indonesian, I use a religion-free phrase (lucky for us we have it) "tempat suci".

Hi,

Japanese translation is nearly ready.
One part I'm not sure about is the sentence "It is like a temple for the mind."
What effect is the sentence supposed to have?

A word-to-word translation into Japanese might make it too much 'religious'.
I'm wondering if I should try avoiding making Wikipedia look like a religion.

Cheers,
Whym
