Post subject:  French vocabulary for Go
I'm English but speak French and occasionally enjoy playing online games with French speakers, but I'm a bit stuck. Can anyone help me find the correct French vocabulary for common Go terms?

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

  • use Japanese words for the most common concepts (joseki, fuseki, atari, etc.)
  • use direct translation for the rest (pierre, capture, prisonniers, coin, bord, centre, ...)
  • I see two exceptions: planche(board) is not used, use rather goban and utte-gaeshi is translated snap or snapback.

Pris-en-retour (or rather prise en retour) could be used in the explanation of the move or in a formal context. "J'avais pas vu le snap" (I didn't see the snap back) is (unfortunately) pretty common.

I forgot to precise I can only speak for France French.
