There are over a dozen locks on the Seaway. The Panama Canal, Manchester Ship Canal and the Kiel Canal also have larger capacity locks. -- Geo Swan 06:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Technically, yes. I did some translation for Chinese cartographers in Beijing, and official policy is to transliterate the final syllable of a place name that identifies the nature of a landmark only if the full name is only two syllables long (e. g. Taishan is "Taishan Mountain" in English, not just "Tai Mountain"), but to translate it otherwise (e. g. "Cangyanshan" is "Mount Cangyan"). 131.171.50.15 ( talk) 17:48, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
