French translation:typo for soil wedge : coin de sol
Explanation:
Some detective work required here!
Followed http://www.dict.pl/plen?word=soil&lang=PL
which gives:klin odłamu - soil wedle
Then lokked up klin in the Polish-French ProZ search and found "wedge" in relation to construction...
As I don't know how to say "soil wedge" in French (although it is used... see http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q="soil wedge" construc... ) I found "Soil wedge polygons" which seem to be "Les polygones à coins de sol"

But maybe French construction experts could confirm (or infirm).
