Anton Redman Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Try "La vis sans tête" ( screw without a head) Systrans retranslates as : "The set screw" PowerTranslator Deluxe ( now about 6 years old) as : "Live the without head" Which is why I do not trust computer translations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 If your dictionary doesn't translate the word "Grub screw" It could be worth investing in an Oxford-Duden Pictorial French/English dictionary, great for finding out what things are called in French.
