ChiangMaiThai Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Thanks. I'll clarify slightly. The first two are registered trademarks and I am interested in possibly using them in French or Italian for a product of mine if they sound cool. As far as the sparkling crystal, I'm wondering if the French or Italians have a catchy name for a beautiful sparkling crystal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Cult Art" could be translated by "Art culte". "Design culture" by "Culture-design". I'm sure I could give you a better translation into French if I knew exactly what it is.

Sick Boy Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 French: cult art = art de culte design culture = culture de conception a sparkling crystal = un cristal de scintillement Italian: cult art = arte di cult design culture = coltura di disegno a sparkling crystal = un cristallo scintillante There you go mate.

"Sparkling crystal": the litera Oops, i've pressed the wrong key... so... "sparkling crystal": the literal translation is "cristal étincelant" ou " cristal scintillant". But if you want a catchy name, you can try something like "cristal lumière". It's possible to create an understandable (new) word too. I can think about it if you want. I can't help you with the Italian. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally disagree with your translation into French. "art de culte" et "cristal de scintillement" don't make sense in French. "culture de conception" is clumsy (can I say clumsy ?). "conception" has too many meanings. And by the way, the French use the english word "design". So "culture du design" or "culture design" would make more sense.

As far as the glittering crystal is concerned, if you (or anyone else) can think of a catchy sounding translation, preferably one word, I'd be glad to hear it. I'm not looking for the literal translation in this case, but more of a marketing advertising angle- I suppose the word doesn't really have to mean anything at all. Kind of like Hagen Daaz (Spelling?) Its referring to small figurines covered in thousands of small crystals- pieces of expensive art. There's no rush, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, I'd be happy to hear your ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opl Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Bonjour ! Maybe would it be easier to find the appropriate translation on the basis of full phrases instead of isolated words ? Because, as said in the previous posts : "Cult Art" becomes in french: "Art culte". But, put it this way this would mean in french that this specific art is held by for emblematic ( i.e : "Easy driver" est un film culte). " L'art du culte" has a different signification and refers to the way or style of practicing a cult (or religion). "Culture design" becomes in french : Culture-design ( all you have to know about design ) and this kind of contraction is borrowed from English. "Sparkling crystal" becomes "cristal étincelant " ( with an "i" ) but has no particuliar marketing-appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The customers will be English speakers in the US, but I'm thinking of using a French sounding word to give it an air of sophistication or an exotic quality.

ChiangMaiThai Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 If about marketing, "joyau chatoyant" is the most flattering possible translation for "sparkling crystal"... Its got to be something the avergae American can pronounce. SO preferably not more than two syllabals. Just joking. But really, most native English speakers would have trouble with joyau chatoyant. I like the sound of Gemme, but not the spelling. Maybe Jemme with an accent mark over the final e. Would the pronounciation be similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Register at http://www.proz.com . It's a brilliant system where professional translators answer terminology questions. Pose your questions in the "English - Italian" and "English - French" forums. Make sure you state that you want your answers and explanations in English. NB! Make sure you provide as much context as possible. Explain relevant background information, state your purpose and provide as much info in connection to the terms as possible. Then you will receive replies by professionals within 2 days. Before you accept an answer, wait for the "agree"s "neutral"s and "disagree"s from other translators to accumulate by each of the provided answers. Then grade your answers giving points to the answer you like the most. As I said, it's a great, free system. Try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
