French Cat...

Excuse the silly title, but there's a reason....

I was just nosing about the site and noticed in the international forums that the different languages are titled in english, except French, and the way it's been posted looks like what the French would see as "French Cat" (as Chat is French for Cat!!), whereas if it was "Causerie Francais" then that would look better for our dear French friends....

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

Linguistically and formally correct, but in modern French parlance, the heading is correct, as most computer savvy French people, will use the word chat for conversation, most of them use chat rooms and have adopted the expression, as with le weekend. I did check with my French nephew and his friends prior to naming it.

Trust me, I'm an Admin.
