Official French translation?

Hi there…

 

Wondering if anyone knows what the official French translation for “Trackable at geocaching.com” is -- if there is such an official translation.

 

Thanks.

''Repérable sur géocaching.com''

Since "trackable" is not in the dictionary, you won't find a suitable word in French, but perhaps you could use "suivez cette pièce chez www.geocaching.com" or something along those lines, but I think you also need to include the words in English "trackable at" or "Track this at", as per the geocoin guidelines. I would check with Groundspeak on that.

Yep, that is the french translation that I have seen.

Good thing, because my rusty French, and the Babelfish translation didn't come out the same, LOL.

I use "traçable" for trackable, and the tracking number becomes "numéro de traçage". To track would then become "tracer", but it sounds weird. "Suivre" would be fine and acceptable.

I'm not 100% sure it is correct in all French-speaking countries, but "traçabilité" for tracking/trackability is perfectly fine in Switzerland! Now, I haven't heard of anything official...

 

“Trackable at geocaching.com” could be translated by "A suivre sur geocaching.com" or "Traçable sur geocaching.com"
