Hi,
Comment on "Rivier van de Wolf" , in Dutch, that sounds awfully  like
translated Frensh...
How about "Wolfsrivier", "Wolfsvliet","Wolfsstroom", "Wolfsbeek", all
Dutch,
Wolfsbeek sounds the most normal as a rivername in my dutch ears, we
tend to
make things smaller in Dutch. If you need the river name for a story,
I'd
use the last one.
And that goes also for the Sint Laurents Rivier. But that's big so you
can't
use vliet & beek, and don't forget the T in some of the dialects.
Bye!

| Nous souhaitons connaître la traduction de "Rivière-du-Loup,
| Bas-Saint-Laurent" dans des langues étudiées par Lowlands.

| River of the Wolf,  Lower Saint Lawrence  ( anglais )

I am not at all familiar with Québec, but I would have thought a more
likely English translation of 'Rivière-du-Loup' would be 'Wolf River'
(?), but please don't hesitate to put me right if I am wrong!
