disagree  ndsv: Projeteur DOES exist! Nothing to do with PM.

  -> Sorry I checked. Projeteur is a recent word and IS a Project Manager Ref: Robert et Collins Diction.

disagree  David Sirett: How I detest dogmatism in translators! "Projeteur" is even in le Petit Robert, not to mention Termium and on quite a few French web sites. "Chef de groupe" is used, whether you think it's valid or not.
40 mins
  -> I think David you would do yourself good to relax. Detest is really a strong word, and as far as I know not the intent of this site to be so fuming. You would say Chef d'Equipe.

neutral  Maya Jurt: GDT: "projeteur" Engineering: DESIGNER. Appelation eMploi: PROJECTOR, déf: responsable d'un projet.
