<h2>Useful vocabulary</h2>
<p>This table of approximate translations is provided for a variety of
reasons such as
<ol>
<li>If you are a non-english speaker, it may help to clarify some terms
<li>If you are an english-speaker it may help you read foreign guidebooks
or cave descriptions/surveys
<li>It was here on disc, and a shame to waste it :-)
</ol>
<p>It is somewhat remedial, and very biased towards mountaineering rather
than caving at the moment. However, it is being put in &quot;as is&quot; in
the hope that it will be more useful to Expo 1998 on the site than on my
hard disc in the UK ! I'm afraid that your browser will need to do tables
for it to be any use at all :-(
<p>Note: the Infomatics Commission of the Union Internationale de
Sp&eacute;l&eacute;ologie has established a Cavers' Dictionary
Working Group, which should eventually build something a lot more
useful than this. The
<a href="http://rubens.its.unimelb.edu.au/~pgm/uisic/lexintro.html">current
version (November 1999) is edition 5</a>, now covering seven languages.
I'll be adding some terms from this as time goes by...

<p><b>Acknowledgements</b>:
<p>The idea came from the guidebook &quot;Yuraq Janka&quot; by J F Rickers.
Additional information derived from varied sources, including Petzl
catalogue, Editions Eclat Peru guidebook, personal experience, deductions
from the Totes Gebirge climbing guide and a lot of head-scratching and
dictionary bashing whilst reading caving publications in a variety of
languages.
<p>If you need a much more detailed vocabulary for climbing and
mountaineering, I can do no better than recommend &quot;Alpines
W&ouml;rterbuch&quot;, by Rudolf Weiss, published by Bergverlag Rudolf Rother
Gmbh, M&uuml;nchen, ISBN 3-7633-8062-0. This has four sections,
Deutsch-&gt;Englisch,Franz&ouml;sisch,Italienisch;
English-&gt;German,French,Italian;
Fran&ccedil;ais-&gt;Allemand,Anglais,Italien and
Italiano-&gt;Tedesco,Inglese,Francese.
