Any French speakers in the lounge?

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

Nah, sounds like it succeeded to me.
"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.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

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.

Exactly.

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:
Sorry, but foul language isn't allowed.

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....

In French : trip = voyage In the context of your sentence : is tripping off = saute (Mon disjoncteur saute…)

we say in french 'disjoncteur' means electrical switch or the state you are when you brake neural circuit in your brain or getting crazy 'je disjoncte'

Nowadays more and more french persons are using trip for trip ... just because the equivalent word is missing in french. Especialy if you are trying to translate something like the Jack's Kerouac road trip or 'las vegas parano' trip with jim carrey. trip sounds like going in a way of adventure and 'sortie' is more quiet... You may not be able to translate that word into a single french one, you need several french words to mean 'trip' like : "partir à l'aventure". That way you more close to J kerouac or jim Carrey trip, but in the quiet case "sortie" is fine. ;)

Sauter You are not translating "(to) trip" but "(to) trip off" Verbs made of two separate words are not a feature of the French language. Goggle does not handle this very well. English: my circuit breaker has tripped off. French: mon coupe circuit a sauté. (jumped !) English: my circuit breaker is tripping off. French: mon coupe circuit saute for ganja related tripping we use "trip" in French

"tripping off" meant like "triggering"?
Disconnected is "debranche" (that e at the end is e acute)

To trip, as in fall over, is trebucher (like the catapult), but I would use debrancher, which is to disconnect or unplug.

Mon disjoncteur est déclencher
My circuit breaker is tripping
déclencher has the meaning of "trip" or "trigger"

In Québec we would say something like: "Le breaker a sauté" also "Le disjoncteur a sauté" is good. Hope it helps.
