In french :
Section : Section (feminine)
Subsection : Sous section (fem.)
Subsubsection : Subdivision (I've never seen "Sous sous partie", but maybe)
(fem.)
Paragraph : Paragraphe (masc.)
Subparagraph : Alinéas (masc.)
Adjectives:
English | french | french | abreviation
| masculin | feminine | (masc. or fem.)
---------------------------------------------------
previous | Précedent | précédente | Préc.
next | Suivant | suivante | Suiv.
up | supérieur | supérieure | Sup.
page : page (fem.)
The Detailed Node Listing : Liste détaillée des noeuds (fem.) ; it's word for
word
[table of contents : Table des matières (fem) ; better that above]
I have the same problem than in german. As 'page' is feminine, you says 'Page
suivante', but 'paragraphe suivant'. or 'Page précédente' and 'paragraphe
précédent'
(note that the adjective is after the noun in french)
The topic of "section; subsection; subsubsection; (sub)*section, etc" is a bit
a messy. I think we should have a look at LaTeX. It's very well done in it...
I would say :
7 levels: Partie (f), sous partie (f), chapitre (m), section (f), subdivision
(f), paragraphe (m), alinéas (m).
6: Partie, chapitre, section, subdivision, paragraphe, alinéas.
5: Partie, chapitre, section, subdivision, paragraphe.
4: Partie, chapitre, section, subdivision.
3: Chapitre, section, subdivision.
2: Chapitre, section.
1: Chapitre.
It's what *I* would say. The best solution is that one of the french speaker
look in the book "Les règles de typographie utilisées par l'imprimerie
nationale", which is the bible for such problems. or search what "Afnor" (ISO
in France) says for it.
