Roger, Que est ce que tu dit a "Les prises des entites"? A mon avis, c'est pas exacte, et ca l'air un peu drole aussi… Mark K.

Salut Marc…. It's good to see I'm not the only one on this forum to assinate the french language <bigtime grin>…. Une prise… well thats not bad "poigne" is directly translate as a handle..confusing Eh??? I think "prise" is usually associated in my profession anyway as an Outlet either electrical, telephone or computer…. By the way translating the grip section has brought up another problem how do you say warm…. the dictionary says "assez chaud" ok so her is were we are today…. une poignee chaud une poignee assez chaud une poigne froid Boy are we in trouble….JP where are you…………… Roger C@V

Roger, Have you tried "tiede" for warm? That seems to make sense to me. BTW, looking in my dictionary, I found that PRISE is "to grasp", "hold", "handle". It does sound like an electrical plug to me too! Let's see: Cold grip: Une poignee froid – Une prise froid Warm grip: Une poignee tiede – Une prise tiede Hot grip: Une poignee chaud – Une prise chaud What I'd like to have is the French International version… How did Adesk International translate it?

Hey Mark… Yeah.. It looks like "Poignee" will be the translation (I even heard a MAC user use the term today). Some people at hte Big V (Vanier) have suggested that we use some alternative analogies than hot, warm & cold. But I think that we will for the time being go with.. poignee chaude poignee tempide poignee froide We are checking into the International Version.. Here in quebec we have the OLF (Office de la langue frnacise) we should send them the problem. But don't expect an answer soon Eh….? Thanks Much for the help.. I'll keep you posted Roger C@V
