if everything goes allright, i should be continuing my mechatronics studies in france begining from the next year.
i speak french fluently, but some technical terms are missing from my vocabulary.
If you are in the mechanics/electronics field and speak french. please assist me. thanks
oui j'parles francais, au fait ma mere est francaise et mon pere est egyptien et je suis parfaitment francophone, mais comme je l'ai dit, il me manques quelques termes.. par example.. dans une voiture comment qu'on appel "the crank shaft?" ou tout simplement, "shaft" ca se dit comment en francais?
Edit, crankshaft in French is (if I can remember the spelling) "Vilbrequin", and camshaft is "arbre a cammes". I remember these terms from a visit to the Bugatti museum in Mulhouse about 10 years ago.
2 stroke engine = moteur a 2 temps
Exhaust = échappement
Spark plug = bougie
Valve timing = synchronisation de soupape
compression ratio = rapport de compression
Tachometer = Tachymetre
sorry. I can help you only with this words.
Any electronic ones, I'll be happy to help you more.

come on guys! i didn't commit a crime! and anyway, i said i would switch to private messages... okay, no french anymore!
and after all, what's wrong about mechanics in the ****-chat forum?
