Hello,

I is currently developing a new plugin for creating PVC windows, wood and aluminum.

I need to translate my Plugin in English, some technical words are not found in my lexicon

So I create this topic to ask for help with the friendliest of you.

This topic will be a reference for all those who wish to apply for assistance for difficult word translations.

First word I want to translate is: " Soubassement de fenêtre "

What exact word, for define this element in a windows ?

I certainly would other technical words to translate.

If I find help, I would come here for my questions

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards

en Français on appelle aussi ," jet d'eau " alors peut-être "water jet"

The closest word I have found is : "Bottom Panel"
I'm not sure it matches the most accurate translation, but I have no choice.

Thank you anyway.

Best Regards

Google Translate says literally, "basement window"

In technical terms, we can not do to google translation confidence.

'Bottom Panel' describes it adequately for me.

[TIG]

It is either a 'solid-pane', or a 'panel' or a 'solid-panel' or an 'infill-panel' or a 'spandrel-panel' or just a 'spandrel'.
A pane is usually 'glass', but it may be obscure or a solid material too.
The latter 'spandrel' terms are the most 'architectural' terms - at least in the UK.
Its modern construction usage is not the same as its original meaning - referring to the triangular part of a wall above a stone arch - it was expanded last century to include any solid parts forming fenestration, and even the open parts in the sides of framed bridges...

Comme "panneau d'allège" ?

The prefix 'bottom' is only needed to clarify its location, or differentiate it from other panes/panels in the same frame..
A 'spandrel' like that can be located within multiple holed frame - at the bottom, at the top, or anywhere in between...
A 'spandrel' is more usually in a fixed frame.
If a similar infill is used in a hinged door or an opening window sash it is more likely to be referred to as a 'panel'.
