Help with French

May 11, 2004 4:42 PM from

Hi,

I need to know how to spell Start in French for a StartMenu Button and would it be the same in Canada and France? I'm getting début when I use babelfish

Thanks All

French début, from débuter to begin, from Middle French desbuter to play first, from des- de- + but starting point

So does that mean on a French version of XP the StartMenu button says début? I also tried begin, but commencez seemed a bit long for a StartMenu button.

, but that's what it means

I found an image of the French WinXP and it shows démarrer on the StartMenu button
