Wings in many languages...

hsmith13 · Post by **hsmith13** » 09 May 2006 18:55

I am working on a design project and would like the word "wings" (as in butterfly or bird wings) translated into several languages. I tried using online dictionaries, but many say there is no translation. Can anyone help me please?
