+tanjuli Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I am coming to France in 3 weeks and planned to bring some travel bugs with me. However, I am not sure if I can find any caches as I can't read the desriptions. If you own a cache, could you pleaseplease be so kind and translate the description to English if possible? It would make non-French speaker caching much easier. Thank you for understanding Quote Link to comment
Biquidou Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hello Tanjuli, Lot of caches in France are in French & English (ie: the last validated one). Could you let us know which areas of France you are planning to visit and for which caches you would like a translation? Regards, Gérard Quote Link to comment
+sTeamTraen Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I think about 80% of French caches are Traditionals. Your GPSr should be all you need. Also, beware of cache descriptions which have been translated into English by computer. Often these are worse than useless. For example, the word "limps" may appear, because the original French word was "boite" meaning "box", but it was translated as the present indicative of the verb "boiter" meaning "to limp". For the hints, "arbre" is tree, "souche" is stump, "mur" is wall, and "magnétique" you can probably work out. Quote Link to comment

Sometimes the descriptions really have valuable information. Quote Link to comment
