<< review queue entry 52504 - submitted by 'tangmu' >> Google translates this word simply as 'top'. If its use is indeed restricted to a domain like Internet forum threads, than 'sticky' or 'to be sticky' would be the correct translation ('to sticky' does not appear correct as 'sticky' is not English verb). Editor: 1) Google Translate is not reliable. For example, as of 2014/09/22, it translates 考研 as "PubMed" and 保研 as Security research"! If you have other evidence that 置頂 means "top", by all means let us know. 2) "sticky" *is* an English verb, although you may not find it in many dictionaries, because it's relatively new. In Wiktionary, it's defined as "(Internet, bulletin boards) to fix a thread at the top of the list of topics or threads so as to keep it in view." http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sticky#Verb 3) Baidu Baike defines 置頂 as a verb: 置顶顾名思义，就是放在顶处！... 置顶就是让一个文章永远都在这个版面的第一页，这样人家一进你这个版面首先看到的就是置顶的文章。 http://baike.baidu.com/view/232791.htm |
