English term

television transmitters (voir question)

English to French Other Media / Multimedia tv package
With the bill, the government aims to adjust the minimum size of the digital standard package. The bill sets out that the digital standard package cannot be less than 30 television transmitters.

j'ai trouvé "émetteurs de télévision" (= qui émet un bouquet de chaînes) mais plus loin dans le texte on peut trouver : "It is therefore mandatory to include the most important public radio and television transmitters in the standard package". Dans cette phrase, j'aurais tendance à vouloir parler de "radiodiffuseurs" plutôt que "d'émetteurs" même si les deux termes ne sont pas identiques. La question que je me pose est la suivante : le terme "émetteur" est-il approprié dans ce contexte?

sabroso (asker) Dec 8, 2012:
Thanks Tony for your comment but it remains unclear to me... As i said in certain sentences "transmitter" would be more "emetteur TV" and in others it would be more "diffuseur". Should i use both ? i'm a bit confused here...
Tony M Dec 8, 2012:
No It's not that the author has got confused, it's simply that FR has 2 words for only one term in EN. This is a relatively new extension to the meaning of the word in EN, since it doesn't exactly mean just 'a company that transmits' (= a broadcaster), but actually a concept that is slightly different, given the way TV delivery methods have changed in recent years. Hence why a new word was needed, but they perhaps foolishly decided to re-use an old one :-(
sabroso (asker) Dec 8, 2012:
se pourrait-il que l'auteur confonde les termes "émetteurs" (= appareil utilisé pour la transmission) avec "diffuseurs" (= sociétés qui diffusent) ??? Plus je lis les phrases et plus j'ai un doute... ex : It is therefore mandatory to include the most important public radio and television transmitters in the standard package....
sabroso (asker) Dec 8, 2012:
plus de contexte :
"Only when the number of television transmitters exceeds this number (30), the package providers may spread channels over plus packages. For the standard package, distribution of public broadcasters is also required"

neutral Tony M : Not a native speaker, so not qualified to 'agree', but that seems to me logical for 'one who transmits' rather than 'a device for transmitting'
