|
|
<h1>Useful vocabulary</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>This table of approximate translations is provided for a variety of
|
|
reasons such as:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>If you are a non-English-speaker, it may help to clarify some terms.</li>
|
|
<li>If you are an English-speaker it may help you read foreign guidebooksQ
|
|
or cave descriptions/surveys.</li>
|
|
<li>It was here on disc, and a shame to waste it. :-)</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is somewhat remedial, and very biased towards mountaineering rather
|
|
than caving at the moment. However, it is being put in "as is" in
|
|
the hope that it will be more useful to Expo 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>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note: the Infomatics Commission of the Union Internationale de
|
|
Spéléologie has established a Cavers' Dictionary
|
|
Working Group, which should eventually build something a lot more
|
|
useful than this. The
|
|
<a href="http://www.uisic.uis-speleo.org/lexintro.html">current
|
|
version</a> (August 2000) is edition 6, now covering eight languages.
|
|
I'll be adding some terms from this as time goes by...</p>

<p>The idea came from the guidebook "Yuraq Janka" 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>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you need a much more detailed vocabulary for climbing and mountaineering,
|
|
I can do no better than recommend "Alpines Wörterbuch", by
|
|
Rudolf Weiss, published by Bergverlag Rudolf Rother Gmbh, München, ISBN
|
|
3-7633-8062-0. This has four sections,
|
|
Deutsch->Englisch,Französisch,Italienisch;
|
|
English->German,French,Italian; Français->Allemand,Anglais,Italien
|
|
and Italiano->Tedesco,Inglese,Francese.</p>
