French Language Enrichment Commission publishes new translations of English terms and recommends replacing doxing with malicious disclosure of personal information

In fact, the previous translation list suggests live player rather than streamer. According to the latter, a streamer is a player who broadcasts and comments on a video game live on the web, interacting with a community of viewers. The proposal to replace this English version with its French translation comes with a question: does the streamer necessarily play video games?

A streamer doesn’t necessarily play video games. The contents provided by third parties initiated in the said process are very diverse and include revision of exercises on various subjects. More broadly, a streamer is someone who broadcasts their activities online via a live stream or pre-recorded video. As the Commission for the Enrichment of the French Language does, Langlicism should be limited to the field of video games.

Translations proposed by the Commission for the Enrichment of the French Language are generally subject to debate on the axis of fidelity to their foreign equivalents. In 2017, he proposed that the English data scientist should be translated into French by an expert in megadata, when Internet users believed that the French term statistician was more appropriate.

The internet proposition as a translation of web anglicism has not failed to elicit its share of ink and derision. In fact, we imagine that when asked what a developer’s expertise is, the answer is I do web development instead of I do web development.

The new list published in the official gazette includes ten English.
