I’m working on a project for deploying J2EE and PHP applications
and it requires communication with customers in both english and french. This work
is part of a traditional IT documentation but I had some trouble
translating certain expressions especially those inspired from Public
buildings and works sector (they’re typical to France) so I’m going to
list them in this post, so other people can use them or suggest better
translations.
