It's all about politics. In France Big Data is never translated by "mégadonnées" but in Quebec, it is always because the people of Quebec like to defend their identity against the american culture.
Usually you translate a word to understand it better.
The paradox is that the people of Quebec speak fluent english whereas most of french people have a poor english.
Anyway pipeline in french remains pipeline but pronounced the french way. Bitoduc is a troll because bito is close to bite which means dick in french.
Conlusion : It's more a political quebec dictionnary than a french dictionnary.
- BrandoElFollito 6y agoPipeline is pronounced the English way in France. I have never heard anyone saying "une peepeuhleen"
- jcq3 6y agoBecause French people working in the IT industry don't know it's an anglicism and are used to pronounce English words the English way. However if you work in the construction industry you will hear "un pipeline". In French, do you pronounce CIA the english way ? And API ?
- jobigoud 6y agoWe say CIA as say-ee-ah, but we say FBI the American way as eff-bee-ay. I've also never heard anyone say peep-leen though. Sent through my oui-fee.

Why do you think we do not know this is an anglicism? We went to school too :) > However if you work in the construction industry you will hear "un pipeline". Pronounced "un pipeuh-linne"? I had no idea that such a pronounciation existed but why not. > In French, do you pronounce CIA the english way ? And API ? CIA: cé-i-a API: ey-pi-aïe or a-pé-i But FBI would be ef-bi-aïe
