The language order is the following: French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Esperanto, Catalan, Latin, Dutch. Enter the translations for the indicated words in these languages. No diacritics and no articles required. Improvement suggestions, of course, welcome.

You need to recheck your Latin words, woman should be "femina", cat should be "feles" (or something like that, it's been a while since I had Latin, I'll admit).

Ah yes, I remember "femina" now too. I´ll add it, but "mulier" is still right, I think. Or is there any nuance between the two? :-)

I could be wrong but I thought that cat was 'felis' in Latin. Nice idea for a quiz but hindered slightly by the fact that there are so many similarities - you end up with more answers than you knew.

Just curious about why most of the German words are capitalized.

All German nouns are capitalized in their written language.

Fantastic quiz! I think "hemelgewelf" is my new favourite word, even if just "hemel" also means sky (apparently).
