French term

zinqué

French to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial
I am now on the doors; I append the whole thing. I have translated the heading as 'Tracks and guides' as I assume it is talking about the tracks and guides for sliding doors.

Rail et guidage
Profilé en aluminium anodisé naturel de 90 x 110 mm prévu d'un cache, sous 30°, en tôle plié, laqué en couleur aluminium. La porte est pendue à deux galets en nylon dur, montés sur roulement à billes, qui assurent le fonctionnement silencieux de la porte et qui sont réglables en 3 directions. En-dessous la porte est guidée par une butée tournante en acier, et dans sa position fermée, elle se met sur deux butées en acier. Ces butées coulissent dans un profilé forme U renversé. Les renforcements en acier **zinqué ** au niveau du rail et au - bas assurent la stabilité en cas de feu.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Wow! I have begun to realize that the text I am translating has MANY spelling errors... I thought it might be zinc plated steel reinforcements, but couldn't find zinqué anywhere... Thank you for coming to the rescue so quickly! I think I need to go to sleep now, I am starting to see multiple door stops on the edge of my vision... "

French term (edited): (acier) zingué

galvanized (steel)

Given the mechanical function being performed here, I would expect the "zingué" to be referring to "galvanized", rather then mere zinc electroplating; the FR term is ambiguous, but for a component likely to be subject to mechanical wear, galvanizing is a more likely bet (ask your son!)

The word "steel" can be taken as read, in an equivalent context in EN we would often (informlly at least!) say "made from 3 mm galvanized"
