taclage

French to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial Pallet conveyor systems

"Défaut mouvement vérin 04 - Taclage palette"

That's the only context there is, unfortunately.

OK above I give what could be a plausible translation . Also I wanted to add that an image search of "tacler" on Pikist returns these hits. There are obvious sports pictures but the others seem to match with the above interpretation https://www.pikist.com/search/fr?q=tacler

You need to calm down.

"Mostly I have no problem decoding texts and words" Well, me neither!!
Conor McAuley Jul 26, 2022:
Google.co.uk Briefly:

Mostly I have no problem decoding texts and words.
So I use Google.co.uk to check my encoding.


I believe that Emmanuella is a French native speaker, and her profile suggests that, but she can speak for herself if she wants to.
abe(L)solano Jul 26, 2022:
Yes, that was my point=results customized for the region/country. That's why it seems odd to search "taclage" on co.uk for a french expression.
And by the way, I´m a migrant myself (expat sounds pompous!). So I´m used to any kind of prejudices and false conceptions. It was not my intention to hurt any feelings! apparently you were - I really think the disagree is NOT fair. We haven't hear from any native French yet but I`m sure it's "taclage". Now I really advice you to improve on daily/colloquial French! Cheers!

Does Google give different search results in different countries?

When you search on Google, your results are customized to your current region. You can choose to see results for other countries from your computer and the Google app for Android.

I'm not being offensive, Britons I know think the same about other fellow countrymen/women living here. And one detail: you're using google.co.uk for the search, not google.fr (why??)
Language is continuously adapting and evolving, aren't you aware of all the anglicisms being used in everyday French? "tacler" is a word I hear almost everyday (on political discussions, yes, but it has permeated, that's for sure). I recommend you to see "Neuilly sa mère! (II)" and the scenes with the parody of Macron's campaign.

I don't see why the person in charge of the report wouldn't use "taclage" if that's what he/she saw in the conveyor belt. Cheers!
Conor McAuley Jul 26, 2022:
It's up to the Mods to decide whether your comments are offensive.
Every expat ("migrant") in the world tries to stay connected, to a greater or lesser extent, to their home countries.
But translators shouldn't overdo it, true.

In the meantime, the data suggests that "taclage" isn't a proper word in a production context:

abe(L)solano Jul 26, 2022:
I don't think so. Not a conversion error. People living in France that don't watch FRENCH TV/hear FRENCH radio/READ French articles:
Lots of them!! Brits, unfortunately, are a good example in this list XD

Conor McAuley Jul 26, 2022:
I tend to agree with Phil and Emmanuella – you've got an OCR software conversion error, and you need to see the original document.
The document was probably converted from PDF or another format into Word.
Emmanuella Jul 26, 2022:
Défaut mouvement 'talcage' ???
Mark Bossanyi (asker) Jul 26, 2022:
...or Talcage. Though why anyone would want to put talcum powder on pallets is beyond me...
philgoddard Jul 26, 2022:
It could be raclage, scraping, or tachage, staining.

French term (edited): taclage palette
Selected

blocked (on it's way)/tipped (overturned?) pallet

It's not rare to hear "tacler qq'n" nowadays in French tv/radio, maybe borrowed from American English.
https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/tacle/76377
https://www.academie-francaise.fr/tacler

I guess the pallet just got stuck while moving or hitted and tipped over. Most probably the second.

"...s’est exprimé sur Twitter et veut « interdire les costumes aux prix indécents » non sans tacler au passage Eric Ciotti."

M. Olivier Véran, ministre des solidarités et de la santé.
"...mais je tiens à dire tout d’abord que je condamne trop souvent celles et ceux qui ont tendance à nous tacler gratuitement pour balayer d’un revers de la main l’ensemble des actions menées par mes prédécesseurs."

Of course, it stays figurative, but I think it's more widely used that expected.

In the text I think it's used as "Passage blocked/blocked the passage of the palette"

M. Dominique Braye. Une telle disposition éviterait le « taclage » des petites communes que notre collègue Michel Charasse a déploré.

Lors de la coupe du monde 98, les Français étaient des spécialistes du taclage, ce qui fait que les autres joueurs craignant pour leurs chevilles les approchaient peu. Mais personne jamais ne s'en est officiellement offusqué, sauf si l'autre équipe le faisait. Il faut dire que le taclage était très à la mode.

agree Bashiqa : Good examples

thanks!!
disagree Conor McAuley : Highly unlikely in a production context. Just proving that the word is used in French doesn't mean it is used in a specific context. "Tacle" has been used in football for at least 30 years... / This is definitely a case of "Ask the client"!!!

je suis pas du tout de ton avis

The problem with you guys, is that you don’t 'experience' French on a daily basis. I asked around me and now young people has come-up with different uses for 'tacler'. You can search in on.line forums, you'll find "taclage'.

lift with a tackle/pulley

Ok I think I got the meaning. Block and tackle, briefly tackle is a seafaring term to mean a double pulley to hoist heavy loads. It was common in the ties when all work was done by men and it comes for the world of ships and maritime travel. Whate they mean here I guess is, "if the hydraulic jack is stuck, you need to hoist the pallet manually using cables and pulleys"

I just wanted to add, provided my guess is correct , which I'm not sure anyway, it needn't be lifting as a block and tackle could be used also to drag or tow a load horizontally. Just in case. I hope once you find out you let us know as I'm curious.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Corinne Jeannet : They are using a conveyor belt for the transport: there)s a problem with the cylinder that stretches the belt !

OK (it didn't mention belt stretching, but anyway) but why wouldn't lifting a pallet from a stuck conveyor be plausible? I don't say I'm 100% sure.
