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...

How about using the word Trigger which in French is Gâchette. To trip a switch would be to also trigger it.
|
|
|
|
|
The word you are looking for is "sauter" = to jump
The circuit breaker tripped = "le déjoncteur a sauté"
|
|
|
|
|
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

The usual verb in French, in this case, is 'sauter'. For example 'les plombs ont sauté' (the fuses tripped/blew)

For my current job, I was required to get my MCSA certificate. I obtained this certification, which means I should be able to perform most SQL Server admin duties.
Another requirement is that I obtain a Security+ certificate, which demonstrates that I am cognizant of the myriad of security threats, and how to spot/mitigate them. I obtained this certification.
Finally, I have a secret clearance.
New tasking requires that I create SSIS packages and SQL Server jobs that run them. Creating the packages is no big deal, but when it comes to the SQL jobs, things have gotten "sticky".
0) I can create the job.
1) I cannot RUN the job manually. (insufficient permissions)
2) I cannot EDIT the job. (insufficient permissions)
3) I cannot change the owner of the job (which is required so that I can run the job manually). (insufficient permissions)
4) The Info Management DBAs want to control the server, but don't have (or don't want to provide) the services necessary for SSIS development support.
What was the point in requiring me to obtain the listed certifications if it doesn't allow me access to do my f*ckin job?
At this point, because the Information Assurance people are being asshats, this has been escalated to command staff, and I'm still sitting on my thumbs waiting for a meeting to happen.

I assume that the database is stored in this write-only memory device. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Sounds like you work for either the government or s company that does government contract work. Too bad you can't walk in with one of your <al pachino="" cuban="" accent="">'leetle frens'.

The thought:
"I don't work for the government, and the government doesn't work for me"
has a cute double meaning.

I used to work for a large Aircraft and Aerospace company that shall remain nameless. During that time I wrote a report on certain software issues that needed addressing. This report went in to the secure document store (everything was on paper back then, no terminals; most code was on punched cards produced from hand written FORTRAN coding sheets). After a couple of months, I found some more issues and wanted to update the document only to be refused access to it because I didn't have the right clearance level! I wrote the report but I wasn't allowed to read it! It took me six months to get vetted for final security clearance to work on the project I was supposed to be working on.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

They made you do certification which, if I remember correctly, you considered useless (or was it CG?). They have won already.

No, you're right - I consider it useless, but I'm sure that outlook is shared by a number of developers.
If they piss me off, and I quit, they lose because then they have NOBODY that can do the work, much less anybody they can refuse access to. Therefore, the DBAs inherit the stuff I was trying to do, and everybody suffers because they claim to be understaffed, and with nobody that has the requisite skillset (even if they weren't understaffed). That means the mission is at risk. Oh to be a fly on the wall when that realization occurs to them.

Well, given the tight "security" policies they have, they are actually understaffed (not by number). Even though they are paying you, you do not have enough rights to perform your job.
I wonder how the DBAs might be feeling about this policy. I did work in this type of environment for a while and nobody was happy. Almost everything got delayed because one who was supposed to do work did not have right and the one who had right was either overloaded or just pissed off by his work life.
Did they just changed your job title to Chief Certificationist without telling you? Looks like that is all you can do there.

Sounds like you just need to grease the palm of whoever knows the SA password.

I can get fired for even hinting that would be a solution.

Yes. I know. I did mark my reply as a joke. 
I used to work with a secret clearance too. I am no stranger to how paranoia is allowed to get in the way of getting any real work done. And in very few cases was that paranoia actually warranted... 
Though I expect in your case, there probably isn't anyone who actually knows the SA password anyway. It's either in a lockbox somewhere, or the account is disabled completely.

Apparently, the DBAs downstairs cannot discern the difference between a windows system admin, and a database system admin. They though I wanted SA on the box itself. After fixing that misconception, nothing has changed. They're promising better access when we move to SQL 2012 because it allows more granular permissions. I am not optimistic...

Try this on for size:
DBA. In the Server Admin group.
Run-As is disabled on the workstation, so I can't use the SA account to run SQL Server Management Studio.
The SA account cannot log into a workstation.
Result = unable to connect to any SQL Servers.
SQL Servers are not configured for remote access, and there are no SQL tools installed on them anyway.
SA can log into a "jump box" which has all the required SQL tools, the idea being to connect from there to the assorted SQL Servers.
But the "jump box" will not pass Smart Card credentials to the SQL Servers, requiring a login/password to be used.
We don't have logins or passwords, we have Smart Cards.
I've been here since December.
I still haven't started working.
