The idea is that Wikipedia is an honored place, devoted to learning and wisdom.

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
