Thanks for the edits Martin! My only question is about SIG vs GIS: looks like the website has it as Spatial Information System. Are you going to change the whole thing to Geographic Information System? I’m happy to update my translation in that case, and you’d know better than me which term is more appropriate.
I’m keeping notes of any lines that I’d particularly like someone to check, but as you can see, a quick proof-read by someone with better technical knowledge than me would be helpful! Adam, I tried a few paragraphs in Google Translate, and it’s not bad at all. Actually, it’s just made me think of an alternate and maybe better translation for at least one term! Bits of it might be hard to decode without referring to the original French, though (“a part” came out as “a game," for example). I think running the documentation through Google translate and then going through and cleaning it up would be a fairly viable approach, but I don’t think it would take me less time than going through the French as I’ve been doing. In fact, I think that my lack of subject-matter knowledge slows me down on the Google translations, much more so than it does with the original French. I’ll keep it in mind as a resource though, and if anyone wants to tackle some of the translating via Google, I’m happy to coordinate with them. I think a user of these systems might be in a better position to decode some of Google Translate’s ambiguities than I am.
