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.

le voyage
travel, trip, journey, voyage, tour, touring
la excursion
excursion, trip, outing, ramble, pleasure trip, tramp
la sortie
output, exit, outlet, release, outflow, trip
le parcours
course, route, journey, career, way, trip

"la sortie" is probably the most appropriate. Thank you.

Exit seems a good idea for a fuse blowing! Perhaps "Dans le noir" would be more appropriate?

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.

Extra points if you can work "mon aéroglisseur est plein d'anguilles" into the text.

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?

Would "déclencher" work? (trigger, start, set off)

Dejoncteur is the trip switch, so....
|
|
|
|
|
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. 
|
|
|
|
|
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. orLe 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.

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.

"tripping off" meant like "triggering"?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. A fault causes the circuit to "trip" or trigger in to an open state.
