Talk:Trancheuse

Two translations?
Why are there two French translations? (One is "Slicer", one is "Sharp Edge".) The fact is, English "slicer" translates to "trancheuse" and "sharp edge" translates to "tranchant". Why do we need both there?
 * Both are differently named, and thus have different French-to-English translations; thus they're both needed. I'm tellin' you this now before Ankou comes to get you. maggosh 05:04, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Did someone call me ?

Just to clarify the matter, tranchant was used as the Japanese name (because I reckon the phonetic pronounciation for trancheuse would've been difficult to render in kana ; there's no specific kana for the French "eu" sound). Thus there are two names. The same goes for libéllule (JP) and démoiselle (EN), which can actually bring the same meaning. Démoiselle, on the other hand, has two meanings : one means "damsel(fly)", the other is the term for a young girl, which I see more often in literary French. 19:56, December 30, 2010 (UTC)
