Greetings !
I'm attempting to translate a pov file that has #declare's written
in French. I'm hoping one of the French speaking people that frequent
this group will be kind enough to provide me with the English equivilants
for the words listed below. I have some ideas as to what they mean but
instead of embarrasing myself I think it wiser to to just ask.
Arbres = Tree ?
Feuille =
Taille =
Moyen =
Ecart =
Alea =
Allure =
Branche = Branch
Thank you,

OK, someone should check these, these are my interpretations...
Arbres = Trees
Feuille = Break into lower levels? (number of levels?)
Taille = Cut (subdivide)
Moyen = Means (averages)
Ecart = Variation
Alea = NO IDEA!!!
Allure = Pace (Spacing maybe?)
Branche = Branch
I'm probably just made myself look stupid... ;-)
Hope it helps a little anyway... there will hopefully be someone more
informed :)
Lance.

Thank you Mr. Birch. Every little bit helps for the monolingual impaired.

Well, I speak french, so let's see if I can give this a try. Of course, some
of the meanings will depend on the context, but the fac that you have tree
and branch should give me a pretty good idea.

bearing. In this case, I assume it's bearing.

Hope that helps,
If that doesn't clarify something, perhaps you can give the snippet of code
so I can try to make more sense of it.

arbre=tree
feuille=leaf
taille=height of tree (or perhaps length of leafs)
moyen=average
branche=branch
alea must be random part in the tree generation
allure perhaps speed or bearing ?
I hope it can help you

In case anybody is interested I'm trying to translate the tree.inc
file at the following link:
http://www.chez.com/pidou/arbres.htm
If successful I might be making yet another tree macro out of this.
Cheers !

Yes sir. I got a return of maybe 40% of the words entered and the majority
of those are dissimilar with the answers I recieved from the native speakers
of the tounge. When in doubt go with the live body I always say - sometimes.

My treacher always said he in fact said somehting like: "apherriphto ho
kubos (kuboi?)" (It's been 20 years since my last lesson Ancient Greek),
because those days, it was "poche" to speak Greek instead of Latin, just
like people at the British Court used to speak French a few centuries ago.

hey, you are translating a certain tree-creator include, yes ??
*laugh*
you know, I gae up on this one, it produced fairly good results, but I couldn't
understand the code well enough to actually use it..

No, not really. IMHO ancient Greek was a much more elegant, sophisiticated
and powerful language than simple Latin, which was a language of farmers and
soldiers (BTW don't want to hurt the feeling of any farmers or soldiers here
<g>). But I'm OT once again.

Every language has at some time been that of soldiers and farmers (or
hunter-gatherers :) And you can't argue that Latin has made a greater
impact.
But enough OT-ness from my part, too.

Just one thing: Perhaps you think so, but ancient Greek is still very much
in use in many scientific and less scientific words, just as much as Latin
is (OK, the RC Church doesn't use ancient Greek, but that's the only
difference <g>).
But tama na (= enough) here .
