"I want him to go" (at least in Spain) would be "Quiero que se vaya"
"I want him to go there" -> "Quiero que vaya." Not all languages work the same way and in some languages omitting a word might mean that it is implied in the meaning of the sentence.

@Shishir

Does the French "Je veux que lui s'en aille" match?

no, I corrected the links

The German sentence "Ich will, dass er geht" means "I want him to leave" or, less likely, "I want *him* (and not someone else) to go".

Is this covered by the Spanish sentence, if the Spanish sentence implies a "there"? Or should the German–Spanish pair be unlinked?

The German sentence more likely implies to "go away" rather than to "go there".

the Spanish sentence means "I want *him* (and not someone else) to go (to some undefined place)", if the German sentence can have that meaning I would keep them linked, if not I would unlink them.

Thank you for the clarification :) Now I understand the Spanish sentence better. (I'm a German native speaker.)

In that case, could you please unlink this German sentence?
#1022949

And instead link these two German sentences?
#691914
#1270950

Thanks!
