Different terms for exhibit and exhibition in French.

EXHIBIT is something you see/can do on an exhibition, so an exhibition
consists of exhibits - there is indeed a big difference (I assume there
must be in French too)!

Modules d'exposition?

I already asked about this yesterday, but I'm not satisfied at all since I do have to use a different term.

  -> merci
disagree  Jacques BOSSER: exhibit: pièce d'exposition, objet exposé. Stand=exhibition stand
37 mins
  -> il semble que stand corresponde au contexte (voir commentaires demandeur), et par extension, voir définition GDT
disagree  Christian Fournier: d'accord avec jacques. Exhibit= objet exposé!!
1 hr
  -> voir mon commentaire précédent et la réaction de Nancy! Elle est bien placée pour savoir si stand correspond à son contexte, ce qui semble être le cas
agree  mchd: d'accord avec J. Bosser. Exhibit est effectivement un objet exposé, mais c'est aussi un verbe : une société "expose", "est présente" (différentes traductions possibles) au "salon de ", " manifestation commerciale, culturelle". Différentes possibilités
1 hr
