Any French speakers in the lounge?

"tripping off" meant like "triggering"?
Yes. A fault causes the circuit to "trip" or trigger in to an open state.

Extra points if you can work "mon aéroglisseur est plein d'anguilles" into the text. :D

Now that is funny.

I'm working on some logic related to recognizing certain phrases or translations. I've tried both the Google and Microsoft translators, but question the results. Is there a corresponding word in French for trip? The translators keep giving me "voyage" even when I use it in context. My circuit breaker is tripping off... it is not going on a Caribbean cruise. :mad:

"la sortie" is probably the most appropriate. Thank you.

I'm working on some logic related to recognizing certain phrases or translations. I've tried both the Google and Microsoft translators, but question the results. Is there a corresponding word in French for trip? The translators keep giving me "voyage" even when I use it in context. My circuit breaker is tripping off... it is not going on a Caribbean cruise. :mad:
In French, the circuit breaker is a "disjoncteur" The proper translation would be the verb "disjoncter" But in your case, you would say something like. "Mon disjoncteur a sauté"
I'd rather be phishing!

I'd go with "coupé" (cut) for a trip-switch triggering.

That's because the use of "Trip" in the context you have means "Failed". In english it's almost a slang phrase. What you probably want it "Le circuit a échoué" - The circuit has failed
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

"kablooie"? Try something less idiomatic to start with. "Entered a fail state"

"My circuit breaker is tripping off" That means it exceeded its voltage max and failed. Doesn't mean it's broken, but it's designed to fault when that happens.

Might not be any such word. Consider they stopped creating the ten's values at sixty, and for seventy, you needed sixty-ten. If that was a difficult stretch - expect "others". Best solution: just make something up. See if anyone notices.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Actually circuit breakers don't look at voltage - they are designed to trip with an excess of current.

I would use colloquially:
Mon disjoncteur a sauté! Elephant!
or a little more technically:
Mon disjoncteur s'est déclenché...

Disconnect is the English term you need to think of, in French, disjonct. Quick tip, think of the more polished, professional sounding word in English when translating into French. So donate vs give, aid vs help. The translation will be closer.

Would "déclencher" work? (trigger, start, set off)

Dejoncteur is the trip switch, so....
