rump Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Hi,I'm working on a Dutch translation of a mission briefing. Since I have no military background I'm struggling with the translation into Dutch 'Mil speak' of some terms. I hope some of you can help me with the following terms:- Firing Lanes (Artillery)- Security Line- Line of Departure- Combat Outpost- OverwatchThanks!Rump 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazjar Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I would go into a dictionary and look for the .mil translations. I have experience doing it with German, so hopefully this might be similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Is this a quiz? Five English terms listed, four Dutch equivalents posted? The odd one out would be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be security line..... Dutch is great, you can usually get the gist even if you just look for English similarities, for everything else there's Google.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt DeFault Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Dutch is great, you can usually get the gist even if you just look for English similarities, for everything else there's Google...To me, Dutch always sounds like the link between German and English.I mean, "De man heeft een wit shirt." sounds almost like a mash-up of the two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 27, 2013 Members Share Posted November 27, 2013 Well, it is. The common element (including Danish) is that they all frame the North Sea (trading, pillaging, plundering, and other shared recreational activities). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
