Although I am not a polygot, I do understand some French. Since I spend time on the French version of eBay, I found it useful to compile this short lexicon of pen terms in English with their French equivalents. While I was at it, I added what I believe to be usable Japanese equivalents (kindly provided by Takayoshi Oda and Zenta Sato). This lexicon is far from complete, but I hope it will prove useful to you.
