Articles sur les convertisseurs

Bonjour,

J'ai vu avec plaisir que tu (vous?) traduisais en Français les articles sur les convertisseurs. La plupart des chronogrammes que j'ai faits sont sous openoffice, je pourrai t'envoyer les fichier si tu veux, sinon je ferai la version francaise moi-meme... Un de ces jours. Il en est de même pour toutes mes images sur commons [1].

J'ai aussi noté un bug en ce qui concerne Image:Boost_continuous_discontinuous_french.png, qui ne s'affiche pas en miniature. J'ai essayé de purger le cache, mais rien à faire. Pourtant, le png original a l'air pile poil...

En tout cas, merci pour la relecture des articles, et bon courage pour la suite. CyrilB 22:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bonjour,

En effet, je voulais écrire les articles sur les convertisseurs mais vu qu'ils existent déjà sur le

wikipédia anglais, il est beaucoup plus simple de les traduire. Cela m'évite de ressortir mes cours

de DEA :-) . Je modifie parfois légèrement le plan de tes articles, si c'est plus clair à l'usage

comme cela, je ferai suivre les modifs sur le wiki anglais. D'ici là, je sers au moins de correcteur

de copier coller sur les articles anglais.

La seconde personne qui contribue aux articles sur les convertisseurs est mon amie qui, étant une

maniaque de l'orthographe, surveille parfois mes contributions afin de les épurer.

Pour ce qui est de tes images, je comptais polluer ta page de discussion en te demandant les sources

de tes figures afin de les traduire en français. Si tu peux me les envoyer par mail cela sera

parfait (j'installe openoffice de suite ...).

Chez moi Image:Boost_continuous_discontinuous_french.png passe très bien en miniature.

Peut-être un bug passager. Sinon, oui j'avais déjà remarqué [2]. Ta galerie est vraiment pratique

pour faire des articles de grotech :-)

J'ai commencé à faire les versions françaises (pour le boost), mais je pars en vacances demain, et j'ai plein de trucs à embaler, du coup je suis à la bourre. J'ai mis tous les fichiers sur un serveur public, mais j'ai pas trop envie de donner l'adresse ici parce que sinon je vais me recuperer encore plus de spam. Envoie moi un mail a cyril point buttay chez free point fr, je te filerai le pointeur. CyrilB 19:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

French communes

Hi. I've been creating translated copies by hand, of communes of the P-de-C and Somme by cut-and-paste of the French versions. As all the information (maire, max.alt,population etc) is in the :fr: versions, a bot to transfer from :fr: to :en: is all that's needed, I reckon.
Any text in French would have to be translated afterwards, but headings and regular text like
"is a commune in the Somme département in the Picardie region of France"
could be included easily enough. Unfortunately, I haven't a clue how the bots are set up at all.

I moved your question to the owner of a bot. I will keep you abreast. Yves-Laurent (talk) 19:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chemin de Fer de Côtes du Nord

I've written this article, with much material taken from the French article, which is a Featured Article there. Would like to get this to GA status initially, any comments would be welcome. Mjroots (talk) 20:08, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a railway specialist but a spent a few time to read your article and the french one.

The name of the french article is Chemin de fer de Côtes du Nord and not Chemin de Fer de Côtes du Nord. I think you should rename the article.
The exact french term is voies ferrées d'intérêt local and not just intérêt local : voies ferrées d'intérêt local is the term who whas used to described this kind of lines in some french law-> I change this in the article.

I'll try to find some more time to re-read these articles this week-end. Yves-Laurent (talk) 23:57, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments, I'd prefer to leave it as Chemin de Fer as that is usually abbreviated to CF, thus giving the "f" in "fer" some importance and justifying the capital letter. I've used this on the other articles I've created on French railways. Re Intéret Local, this is the term generally used in the English language books on the various minor French railways, but I will accede to your knowledge on the correct term to use. Thanks for your assistance. Mjroots (talk) 06:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did not know the english acronym for CF.

I haven't got a knowledge of the use of voies ferrées d'intérêt local. It's seem to appear like this in some french law. But in french we often reduce some sentence in every day use. So, it possible that this sentence is reduced to d'intérêt local for the french railway expert. If english book use d'intérêt local, you should do this too.

Yves-Laurent (talk) 08:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Chemin de Fer" translates literally as Way of Iron and is normally taken to mean Railway. In English usage Railway would have a capital "R" as in SER, LCDR, KESR etc., etc. The abbreviation VFIL is used in English language books, as well as the term intérêt local although the accents on the letters aren't always used.
