need some translation help... (to french)

[Yellow]

Anyone of you Quebecois out there that has a french term for thread locking agent? I've been trying many auto/moto shops around here asking for Loctite without them understanding and/or them thinking it's a bad idea to use it when I explain what it's for...

[FatBlue]

I just asked around the mainly french agency I'm working at. No one could answer me properly, all I got was that a screw's thread, in french is "filet" or "filetage", no one could tell me more than that. Hope it helps!

[Yellow]

thanks anyway... I guess I'll have to try around a bit more, with something like "un produit pour coller les filetages d'un vis"...

[SweetLou]

Yellow, If you can not find it, I could get some here and ship it to you.

Just PM me.

enfin les canadiens sont venus... mieux vaut tard que jamais.

I thought all of you were out celebrating Flag day

[FatBlue]

Quebecers would never celebrate flag day (I consider myself Canadian before Quebecois anyways - besides I'm an anglophone). This morning it was explained to me as follows:
Ah! ... du "Lock-Tite"!
Very helpful
C'est un produit pour serrer la vice dans ces filets
ou
d'empecher la vice de dévicer du au vibrations

That's the best I can do here.

Actually "freinfilet" did the trick, today I found an auto parts store close to my university that has it.

How's Montreal for anglophones these days? I've heard that the climate changed after the referendum and all...

You can find some "Lock tite" at Canadian Tire in the car department and at Auto parts UAP/NAPA(more expensive). I'm francophone and we use the term "Lock tite".

For the moment it's calm, things have a way of building up to a frenzied pitch then calming again. I have a feeling that it will start building up again over the next few years as soon as the Parti Quebecois can get back the power (if the provincial Liberal govt. keeps failing as it has been). As long as you're willing to make a little effort to speak and understand all that's french around you, things are good.
Still run like a facist state though, with language laws and language police. Overall - great place to be.[/quote]

A bit like here, then. Here it's between the flemish (flemish/dutch speaking) and wallon (french speaking) regions; right now the tension is building up with a successful separatist party in the flemish region (Vlaams Blok)... All the foreigners (like me) here doesn't get it at all, like language laws in Flanders that forbids the commune (municipality?) employees to communicate with people in anything but flemish/dutch. In Bruxelles it's easier, they generally agree to speak both languages. It's quite funny, in my commune the employees in the "foreigner section" don't speak english...

The beer and the chocolate are good, though.

I found the Flemish easier to deal with and easier to understand than the French-Belgium. They didn't seem to have the same attitude... (What, you don't speak French? Stupid Knigit! -- the Flemish don't expect foriegners to speak their language very often, and seemed much more willing to work with hand-signals and finger-pointing at items).
