Sandra Posted August 26, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 26, 2021 Hello to all on the forum. I'm a new user, living in Paris, France though originally from England. I'm a translator and am hoping it will be OK for me to ask some questions regarding model-making terminology.

Louie da fly Posted August 28, 2021 Share #10 Posted August 28, 2021 Bienvenue! I am not certain whether you want modelling or maritime terminology. There are several online translation resources for maritime terms. I particularly like this one - https://archive.org/details/dictionnairedes00tiregoog/page/n12/mode/2up - it contains very many terms useful in modelling. However, it translates only in one direction - from French to English. But I hope this is helpful. Are you planning to realise a ship model yourself?

Louie da fly Posted August 28, 2021 Share #13 Posted August 28, 2021 Sandra, you'll occasionally find that there are alternative translations between French and English, of which one is correct and the other isn't. For example the usual translation of the word pont into English is "bridge" - but the correct word for ships is "deck". The "bridge" is a different part of the ship entirely. Another one is bâtiment - the usual English translation is "building", but the maritime one is just "ship." There are quite a few words like this, but as you get into the subject it gets easier.

I've made mosaics in the past but haven't started model-making. My interest comes through my translation work for the Musée national de la Marine here in France. It's great to be on the forum. It certainly seems like a friendly community and I've had a lot of help and tips already. I'm hoping I'll be able to reciprocate.

Louie da fly Posted August 31, 2021 Share #17 Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Hi Sandra, What an amazing job to have! I envy you immensely. I have a smattering of French myself, which has helped me with archaeological reports. Speaking of which, have you any idea of what is meant by the terms aiguilette and carlingot ? (see text below from the report Le Navire Génois de Villefranche in Archaeonautica No. 9). The carlingot appears to be something to do with the carlingue (keelson) but I can't find a definition for it anywhere. Any help gratefully received.

G. Delacroix Posted August 31, 2021 Share #18 Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Bonjour, Les « carlingots » sont deux pièces placées parallèlement et contre la quille afin de la renforcer latéralement. Les "aiguillettes" sont la pièce supérieure dans la partie supérieure des cavaliers (qui sur ce navire ont une forme particulière). GD Edited August 31, 2021 by G.

Louie da fly Posted August 31, 2021 Share #19 Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Merci beaucoup, GD. For the English-speakers; "The carlingots are two pieces placed against the keel, parallel to it, for lateral reinforcement. The aiguillettes are the top piece of the top part of the cavaliers (which on this ship have a particular form)". I'm not familiar with the term cavalier, but it seems to be a frame, and so I think the aiguillette must be the top futtock.

G. Delacroix Posted September 1, 2021 Share #20 Posted September 1, 2021 Hello, Sorry, I thought I posted in English. The riders are internal reinforcements comparable to frames but placed on the ceiling.
