Much of the CIPMM-specific terminology and expressions can be found on this client's website that has both English and French versions. (See accompanying links above.) Note that we are aware of some terminology inconsistencies on this client's website. There are also some spelling errors in the French version of the website.
To verify terminology, the majority of the function-specific terms in use by this client can be found on the TERMIUM.
Client-specific terminology that are not found on the client's website or on the TERMIUM can usually be found on the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) website or on the Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) website, including the Crown Assets site (related to disposal matters. Some topics of late relate to bid rigging and the Government of Canada's Competition Bureau website may prove useful.
On the subject of disposal, there are two words that have been used in the French translations. They are cession and aliénation. Both terms are found in the TERMIUM. The terms most commonly used by CIPMM in its French documentation has been aliénation.
Using the Google search engine, you can search on the word, expression or sentence and add the expression +gc.ca to the search string. Example: asset disposal +gc.ca
Time-Saving Tip #1: Using the Google Canada search engine (i.e. google.ca), perform a search on the word, expression or sentence and confine your search to the "Search: pages from Canada" option for optimal results. (In other words, click on the "Search: pages from Canada" radio button before executing your search.) Adding the expression +gc.ca to the search string may also prove helpful in narrowing the search results.
Time-Saving Tip #2: If the page you have navigated to contains a great deal of text, you can avoid having to read or scroll the whole page by simply searching the page for the expression you are seeking in order to find its relative position. Note: To search a web page, use your browser's Search Capability (not the website's search function).
Time-Saving Tip #3: The process of toggling between English and French pages can be a bit arduous in some instances. One technique that works for us is to open two web pages, one that is kept on the location of the English, while the second is scrolled to find the French equivalent.
