I started a translation. I'm not a professional translator, but I hope that helps. --Anneyh (talk) 20:59, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Prolongation or extension? I checked a London articles and opted for extension --Anneyh (talk) 21:52, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Abutment the term in French is a very precise architecture word that I actually didn't know before: Pied-droit... as far as I could check, abutment sounds correct --Anneyh (talk) 21:52, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
[edit]
- Need to remove the Champs de Mars station on the grid map so as not to confuse tourists?
An edit was made to remove the text " partly common with line 9" but there are 5 stations in shared between line 8 and line 9:
- Richelieu — Drouot
- Grands Boulevards (not indicated as connection on the line plan, I cannot remember if you can actually go from one line to the other)
- Bonne Nouvelle (not indicated as connection on the line plan, I cannot remember if you can actually go from one line to the other)
- Strasbourg — Saint-Denis
- République
The tracks are dedicated, but they follow the same way. I was not to sure how to translate suivant un tracé parabolique par la rive droite de la capitale en partie commun avec la ligne 9, suggestions are welcome. --Anneyh (talk) 07:19, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
- «shared station» is not good either.
- Be carefull that most metros count 1 stop = 1 station.
- This is not the case here: Paris metro has 300 stations = 384 stops.
- (which is quite a disavantage in bad statistics which just use numbers without trying to verify there're about the same data)
- Stations are a group of stops with the same name, usually near, but it's not always the case (see Montparnasse-Bienvenüe).
- «Follows the same path/direction» is a little less misleading, «follows a parallel path» looses the notion of proximity.
- «Follow a path next to» is good I think but looses some location details: line 8 and 9 are sometimes one above the other, and sometimes one around the other (I don't remember exactly where and which at this late hour).
- BTW, don't hesitate to make comments or ask questions to fr:Discussion Projet:Transports en Île-de-France, we welcome external point of views...
