English to French: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Apricot Seed
Source text - English Traditional Chinese applications : All kinds of lung distress whether hot or cold in nature; constipation due to dry intestines Possible unwanted effects : None noted; however, large doses can be toxic due to the presence of amygdalin, which is partially broken down in the intestines to yield cyanide (in the form of hydrocyanic acid) Herb drug interactions : None reported TCM and other contraindications : Diarrhoea; not suited for treatment of babies due to the amygdalin content	Translation - French Applications chinoises traditionnelles : Tout type de malaises respiratoires, froids ou chauds; constipation due aux intestins secs. Possibles effets involontaires : Aucun à été noté, cependant, de fortes doses peuvent être toxiques en raison de la présence de l'amygdaline, qui est partiellement dégradée dans l'intestin pour produire du cyanure (sous forme d'acide cyanhydrique) Interactions avec d’autres remèdes à base d’herbes : Aucune interaction informée. MTC et autres contre-indications : Diarrhée; ne conviennent pas pour le traitement des nouveau-nés en raison de l'amygdaline contenue
English to French: Instructions Manual, machines in Wood industry
Source text - English Welding on the machine should, if not agreed otherwise, be done by xxx's authorized service providers. There is a great fire risk and the area around the welding should be cleaned and if necessary watered down. Fire watcher(s) with extinguishers should be positioned. Welding should only be done by trained and thereby authorized personnel. It is imperative that the earth cable be connected in close vicinity to the welding area, so that creeping currents won't damage the machine. Close-by photocells and sensors must be covered thoroughly, as welding flashes can destroy these. All electronic equipment for the machine should preferably be switched off. Wrongly performed welding can cause serious and expensive damage to the machine’s electrical system and to bearings and/or other machine parts.	Translation - French Sauf si cela a été convenu autrement, la soudure sur les machines devrait seulement être faite par des prestataires de service autorisés par xxx. Il y a un grand risque d'incendie et la zone autour de la soudure devrait être nettoyée et au besoin arrosée d’eau. Un ou plusieurs guetteurs d'incendies avec des extincteurs devrait être placés. Le soudage devrait être effectué uniquement par du personnel formé et donc autorisé. Il est impératif que la terre câble soit connecté à proximité de la zone de soudage, de sorte que les courants rampants n'endommagent pas la machine. Les cellules photo-électriques et les capteurs photoélectriques à proximité du secteur de soudage doivent être couverts de manière soigneuse, car des coups d’arc pourraient les détruire. Tous les équipements électroniques de la machine devraient de préférence être également éteints. Une soudure incorrectement effectuée peut provoquer des dommages sérieux et coûteux sur les systèmes électriques de la machine et sur les roulements et/ou d’autres pièces de la machine.
