Hello! I am a mammal curator on site and I recently completed adding the common French names for mammal species found in French-speaking countries. I myself do not speak French, but I would like to share my work with those who would be most interested (French-speaking iNat users). Is there anything …

I am not francophone, but for what it’s worth, here is what comes out of https://translate.google.com Toutes les espèces de mammifères présentes dans les pays francophones ont maintenant leurs noms communs disponibles en français. Les lieux concernés sont: Belgique, Bénin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Ca…

I appreciate the attempt, but I am skeptical of just using Google Translate. I was considering just sharing this post in English, but maybe having something translated through Google is better than nothing?

It’s actually a pretty good translation. There are one or two word choices that seem a bit off, but that may be more a function of me being used to Quebec French versus Continental French.

If that’s the case, I’ll go forward with it.

There is no gibberish or unrecognizable stuff in it. Just put a note saying done by Google translate and it should be fine

@cmcheatle is there a title you’d suggest for this post in French? How does “Mammifères des pays francophones ont maintenant leurs noms communs français” sound?

Noms de mammifères français sont maintenant ajoutés is more brief and says the same basic thing

Any French-speaking iNatters willing to help me with a post?
