English to French: Adhesive Sealant General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Construction / Civil Engineering
Source text - English W4P is a moisture-curing, single-component, non-sag,
adhesive sealant that contains no solvents. When cured,
W4P offers the performance of a two-part sealant with the
ease of installation associated with a one-part.
Surface Preparation - Joint surfaces and backer rod must
be dry and free of all contaminants such as oil, grease, wax,
dust, corrosion, tar, asphalt, loose aggregate, frost, form release
agents, decorative and protective coatings. Precast
panels using form release agents other than polyethylene
film must be sandblasted or mechanically abraded and
blown or brushed dust free. Glass, metal and other
nonporous surfaces must be free of any coatings and wiped
clean with solvent.
Translation - French Le W4P est un scellant adhésif monocomposant sans
solvants, à consistance non-affaisante et à durcissement à
l'humidité. Une fois durci, le W4P offre la performance d'un
scellant à deux composants ainsi que la facilité d'installation
associée à un produit monocomposant.
Préparation de la surface - Les surfaces du joint et le fond de
joint circulaire doivent être secs et exempts de tout
contaminant tel que l’huile, la graisse, la cire, la poussière, la
corrosion, le goudron, l’asphalte, les agrégats à l'état libre, le
givre, les agents de démoulage, ainsi que les revêtements
décoratifs et protecteurs. Les panneaux préfabriqués à l'aide
de tout agent de démoulage, sauf la pellicule de polyéthylène,
doivent être soumis à un processus d'abrasion et de soufflage
ou brossés pour éliminer la poussière. Le verre, le métal et les
autres surfaces non poreuses doivent être exempts de tout
revêtement et être nettoyés à l'aide d'un solvant.

French to English: Indigenous History - Canada General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: History
Source text - French Entre passé, présent et avenir, la Nation Innue est aujourd'hui à la croisée des chemins. Bien que majoritairement sédentaires aujourd'hui, les Innus éprouvent toujours un attachement aussi profond envers Nitassinan, ce bien commun capable de faire vivre tous ceux qui s'en remettent à lui. Alors que l'avenir de l'humanité dépend aujourd'hui de notre capacité de préserver et d'entretenir nos terres, nos eaux et nos ressources, l'expérience millénaire des Innus et leur relation profonde avec l'environnement pourraient bien nous indiquer la marche à suivre pour bâtir un avenir commun solide aux générations futures, autochtones et non-autochtones.
Translation - English Between the past, present and future, the Innu Nation is now at a crossroads. Though mainly sedentary today, the Innu still feel a deep attachment to Nitassinan, this common good that can sustain all those who give themselves to it. At a time when the future of humanity depends on our ability to conserve and maintain our land, our water and our resources, the millennial experience of the Innu and their deep relationship with the environment could very well show us the way towards building a strong collective future for coming generations, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.
