French officials told to abandon gaming Anglicisms
31 May
France's language watchdog has urged officials from the government to use French gaming terms instead of English.

The Academie Francaise believes that "jeu vidéo de competition" should be replaced by "e-sports" and that "streamer" should be replaced by "joueur-animateur direct".
France's ministry of culture told the AFP news agency that Anglicisms are "a barrier to understanding".
However, gamers have criticized the ban, with one describing them "completely pointless".
France regularly warns about the "debasement of its language" by importing English words.
Other official translations include "jeu video en nuage" for "cloud gaming".
The Academie Francaise was founded in 1635 by Cardinal Richelieu and is the official custodian for the French language.
The 40 Academy members wear their own uniform , with embroidery details and a sword for ceremonial use. This outfit might not be out of place in Assassin's Creed Unity 2014.
The institution has long campaigned against the encroachment of English words into French which technology has frequently promoted.
However, Thelocal.fr reported that a earlier attempt to replace "le wifi” with "l'access without fil a internet" was unsuccessful.
On Twitter, one player opposed the latest ruling by writing: "I'm French and I find this absurd There is no way anyone will ever use these terms. This kind of ban is totally pointless."
In a series of responses to Eurogamer's tweet, several others shared memes that suggested the French versions were more sophisticated than the English.
