Inquiry intae the Natur an Causes o the Walth o Naitions Wis thon setten firth in Scots?

A daursay it wisna, na, but A swithered aboot whit tae dae here. Tae ma mynd the'r fower things can be pitten doun here:
  • Inquiry intae the Natur an Causes o the Walth o Naitions
  • Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
  • Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (Inquiry intae the Natur an Causes o the Walth o Naitions)
  • Inquiry intae the Natur an Causes o the Walth o Naitions (original teitle Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations)
The first ane wis the ane A waled, mibbe wranglie. The fowert ane is whit maist ither Wikis uises -- tho that's aiblins acause the beuk's been setten ower intae aa thae leids. The thrid ane micht be the mensefu chyce if ye want tae shaw the Scots as a seperate leid frae the English. The saicont ane micht be the ane tae wale if ye'r no ower fasht wi thon, acause aa Scots spaekers can lift English an aa.
Onie thochts? This disna juist affec' WoN o coorse -- maist beuks/films/etc that's gaunae kythe in the Wikipedia'll hae this problem. A'd probably gae for the thrid ane gin the beuk haesna been setten ower intae Scots, an the fowert ane in the rare cases that it haes. Mendor 10:53, 20 October 2005 (UTC)Reply
Pittin the translation ahint the oreeginal in Brackets is aiblins best gin the beuk haesna been pitten ower in tae Scots. O coorse mebbes a bittie pyntless acause Scots speakers will can nae doot lift the English. Daein it juist in Scots gies the impression that the beuk haes been setten furth in Scots. Gin a beuk haes been pitten ower intae Scots thon teetle alane shoud dae unless the teetle in ither leids is relevant tae the airticle.
