Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

Vecāķi (Latvian pronunciation: [ˈvætsaːci]) is a Northern Districtneighbourhood in Riga, the capital of Latvia. It is one of Riga's neighborhoods lying on the shores of Gulf of Riga, Baltic Sea. Westward Vecāķi is bordered by Vecdaugava – a partial oxbow lake (a dead-end fork of River Daugava that hasn't been cut off from it completely.) Thus Vecāķi offers both freshwater and brackish water bathing places, with the former having a higher water temperature come summer due to the smaller volume of Vecdaugava.[1]
German names for the town include Bad Magnushof, Wezaken,[2] and Wetsanck Dorf.
Etymology
The name may be a compound of vecs and āķis pluralized to mean "Old Hook." Vecs being a native Baltic word and āķis ultimately a borrowing from either Middle Low Germanhake or Middle Dutchhaeck.[3]
Dzintra Hirša notes that connecting the name with fishing hooks is a folk etymology and that the name is derived from an alternate sense of āķis from a similar alternative sense of its ultimate source – the Low German hake – "cape; shoal, sandbank."[4]
