	Nice Quiz! :) Nice that you included the Latin words :)

	Good idea but too easy. Would be better with more diverse languages.

	i like the tricky clues for weapon, but arm can be a synonym for weapon, so im not sure its fair to consider arm as an incorrect translation

	If you speak French, German or Spanish, it's easy. The game would have been more interesting with more different languages (but still only 4 per clue)

	The time could be shortened, but overall quite nice. It's facinating to see which words in English come straight from the Saxon/German, and which come straight from the Latin/French.

	Let me tell you something, GOB. We're going to track this "Hermano" down, and we're going to nail him.

	Pain and paint are both amongst the least guessed answer. I wonder how many people knew the answer but mistakenly clicked the wrong button because the words are so similar.

	Brought back happy memories of school Latin lessons. Thank you.

	'plano' is an adjective that means 'flat' or 'level' in Spanish. It is also a noun for 'plan' or 'blueprint', but not for the plan meaning 'intention' (cf. your French word). In that case, the Spanish word is just 'plan'. I would recommend you use an actual dictionary instead of google translate for word-to-word translations.

	@padlarf: I'm one.

	Being German and having learnt both French and Spanish in school, this quiz was really easy. I still had lots of fun and now feel really smart ;) By the way: great translations even with the ä/ö/ü and such!

	Thanks Los Pollos Hermanos for helping me get two answers. Also I owe it to the national Spelling Bee for "Schmerz", since I clearly remember "Weltschmerz" being the losing word, and it meaning something to do with depression.

	If you're just racing through the quiz, the time could be shortened. But I like the time where it is, because that allowed me to read all four words (instead of just going for the French, which I know) and even pronounce them out loud, and learn a thing or two. Isn't that half the fun of Sporcle? So I like the time where it is.

	This was very good revision for my Latin GCSE! :P

	I know some people downvoted Fergenaprido because s/he said it in a mean way, but s/he is right. Plano normally means "flat" (like a "plane" surfece), I guess it could mean "blueprint" too. But either way plano does not have the same meaning as the other three words mentioned in the clue for "plan."

	@mrlevin: "Plano" can mean "blueprint". As in "planos arquitectónicos" in architecture. My father was an architect, and I'm an English-Spanish translator. Also, I'm a native Spanish speaker, so... ;)

	Great quiz! It would be great to have a follow up more challenging one. :)

	All those years of studying Spanish, French, and German finally have found their use.
