To Vulcain (rocket engine) From translation page:Wikipedia:Translation into English/French

Other notes I don't think this should go to Vulcain. Maybe Vulcain (motor) or something. --Storkk 13:55, 11 September 2006 (UTC). There is no article Vulcain, no problems with disamb. but OK if you wish.Mion 13:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC) Well, I'd need to know how it's generally referred to in English, which I don't. Maybe Vulcan Motor (this would be a direct translation... "-ain" in French is generally rendered "-an" in English). It all depends exactly on the semantics of how Vulcain is used. I guess, now on thinking more about it, Vulcan motor would be the best. --Storkk 23:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC) Then again, that could pose problems for those trekkies out there. Anyway, the problem basically stems from whether "Vulcain" is used (in the French context of the engine) as an adjective or as a descriptive noun. There's also the problem with the word "motor" -- I've never heard of a rocket being referred to as a motor in English. More discussion with francophones needs to ensue... Storkk 23:23, 11 September 2006 (UTC) It's called the Vulcan (rocket engine), as noted here [1] by the European Space Agency. --Cnadolski 14:53, 12 September 2006 (UTC) That would also be consistent with RS-68 (rocket engine). Might take this on in a new days myself if nobody else does. --Storkk 17:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
