Any French speakers in the lounge?

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:
Hi there from the Province of Québec. Trip translates to voyage. Now for your last sentence: Mon disjoncteur se déclenche... il ne va pas en croisière aux Caraïbes. Bonne journée :)

So weird: In google search, I write "translate My circuit breaker is tripping off in french" And I get: "Mon disjoncteur se déclenche" Which for me, being french, looks perfect. In fact, I think that "to trip off" could be translated in 'Disjoncter'. In French, you should not say "Mon disjoncteur disjoncte", this is not beautiful... So, google's right. Hoping that my 2 cents helps... Christian

How about using the word Trigger which in French is Gâchette. To trip a switch would be to also trigger it.

A circuit breaker is a coupe-circuit (masculine: (the) le coupe-circuit, (a) un coupe-circuit, (my) mon coupe-circuit... In context, to trip is déclencher (verb) déclenchement (noun) My circuit breaker is tripping off, mon coupe-circuit se déclenche. In French, you cannot abbreviate "coupe" the way you could "breaker" in English. Hope this helps

I aggree. I think "déclencher" is the good word for a circuit breaker. "Disjoncter" could do the work too but it is related too overvoltage or over-intensity.
But what else than overvoltage or overintensity could trigger a circuit breaker to trip off? I think "disjoncter" is the perfect word. At least it is the one I would use, and any french people would understand it perfectly.

In french, we would say :
Le disjoncteur s'est déclenché.
or
Le circuit a disjoncté.
We can hear :
Le disjoncteur a disjoncté.
too but in french, we don't like to repeat the same sound twice. It's unpleasant to the ear... but it is perfectly syntaxically correct.

Would "déclencher" work? (trigger, start, set off)
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer
Déclancher is the good technical word for it. Altough people will use Ouvrir (Open) and Fermer (Close) in normal conversation for circuit breakers as they would do for a light switch. Hth

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'
Ouais, c'est vrai. :)
