Uh, if you're refering to an Ontario dialect or accent you
certainly don't want it written into your manuals! Dialect and
accent are mostly spoken differences in language, or use of idiom
and local specialization (eg differences in fishing terminology between
St. John's Nfld and Victoria B.C.)
Translation of technical material is done in "Standard French" which will
be understood by anyone who knows the language (ie correct French).
What you appear to be asking for is like saying "translate this manual into
cockney for us.." And this for the board of Ed. yet ...
