French Reference

["Shawna Woods Roy" <shawna -dot- roy -at- caris -dot- com>]

I'm new at this technical writing business (less than 2 months), and I've
been reading the digest everyday, learning a lot. Now I need your help. The
company I work for is developing a web application on which they want to use
localization, and they want me to "translate" all the menu items and such in
French. I am a French Canadian, so the grammar and syntax don't bother me.
But having done all my "technical" schooling in English, I do not know the
proper technical French terms for the GUI interface.

Could someone please recommend a website, or book, or anything else? The
software they are developing is a GIS software, so if you also happen to
know of French sites for geography/geology terms, I would appreciate that as
well.

Thank you,
