» 'Tulip Fever' by Deborah Moggach; a comparison of the English original and its French and Spanish translations
By Karen Vincent-Jones (X) | Published 04/18/2007 | French | Recommendation:RateSecARateSecARateSecARateSecARateSecI
This article looks at a best-selling English novel and its translations into French and Spanish. The books are looked at as publications, in terms of their presentation and the publishers' marketing strategies. The style of the different versions is compared, using statistical analysis, in terms of their sentence structure and readability. Certain key passages are compared in detail, and any differences analysed. The conclusions are that the Spanish version is more faithful to the English original than the French, and is targeted at a more sophisticated audience. The French version often differs from the original, omitting descriptions, and is targeted as 'women's fiction' to a more popular audience.

Pourtant, par une alchimie insoupçonnée, les dits cochons, quant on les gâte, produisent parfois en retour de curieuses pièces qui, si elles ne sont rondes, méritent du moins qu'on leur accorde une certaine préciosité.

» Utilisation des codes ASCII pour les lettres accentuées en français (non présentes sur les touches du clavier)
By elysee | Published 08/5/2006 | French | Recommendation:RateSecARateSecARateSecARateSecIRateSecI
En France, on utilise le code multilingue 850 Latin 1. Sur un PC, pour accéder à un caractère, il suffit d'appuyer simultanément sur la touche ALT et de taper le code ASCII en décimal. Exemples: ê = ALT 136 â = ALT 133 É = ALT 144 û = ALT 150 ô = ALT 147 m² = m puis ALT 253 m³ = m pui ALT 252
