Re: help on new cargo names required

Hi,

Here´s a new version of the additional cargo and industry names which
reflects suggestions given so far. I´d like to thank all contributors
for their kind assistance and ask them to take another look into this.

The format of strings is: english - german - french  - spanish, and
there are still some question marks where the terms still seem not to be
quite perfect.

In addition, I´ve added some more information about the industry or the
cargo where this seems to be necessary to find the correct term.


// agricultural products
cereals - ? - ? - cereales

[this term is kind of problematic. According to Webster Online
dictionary, in english "cereals" includes also edible seed and nuts, but
this isn´t true at least for german and french.]

wool - Wolle - laine - lana
fertiliser - Düngemittel - engrais (engrais chimique) - fertilizantes
oil seeds (oil seed crops) - Ölsaaten - graines oléagineuses - semillas
oleaginosas
fibre crops - (pflanzliche) Faserstoffe - récoltes de fibre - (plantas
que dan) fibras textiles?

// agricultural industries
animal farm - Tierhaltung?  - ferme d´élevage? - ganadería? | granja
ganadera?

[this would be a "farm" without fields, just stables for the cattle and
fodder being delivered to, like e.g. "feeding lots" in the US]

fruit plantation - Obstanbau? | Obstplantage? - plantation des fruits? -
plantacíon de frutas


// mining materials
potash - Kali - potasse - potasa
sulphur - Schwefel - soufre - sulfuro
sand  - Sand - sable - arena
limestone - Kalkstein - pierre à chaux - cal

// mining industries
potash mine - Kalibergwerk - mine de potasse - mina de potasa
sand pit - Sandgrube - puits de sable - arenal
lime quarry - Kalksteinbruch - carrière à chaux? - cantera de cal

// manufactured products
glass - Glas - verre - cristal
dyes - Farbstoffe - matières colorantes? | peintures? - ?

["dyes" are chemical colourings or pigments]

refined products - Raffinerieprodukte - produits de raffinage -
productos refinados
bricks - Ziegel - briques - ladrillos
cement - Zement - ciment - cemento
wood products - Holzprodukte - produits en | de bois? - productos de madera

// manufacturing industries
textile mill | textile factory? - Textilfabrik - usine textile - fábrica
textil
glassworks - Glashütte - verrerie - cristaleria
chemical plant - Chemiewerk - usine chimique - planta química
cement plant - Zementfabrik - cimenterie - cementera
brickworks - Ziegelei - Briqueterie - fábrica de ladrillos
automobile factory - Automobilfabrik - usine d'automobile? - fábrica de
automóviles?
furniture manufacturing plant - Möbelfabrik - Usine de meubles? -
fábrica de muebles
building center - Baumarkt? | Baustoffhandlung? -  ? - centro comercial?
| empresa de materiales de construcción?

[a building center is a store where you could buy building materials
like stone, roofing tiles, cement, timber, construction steel, etc.
Today, they have transformed into big stores where you can buy nearly
everything for house and garden, not only construction materials]

BTW, some people seem to have difficulties with a correct character
decoding. I used ISO 8859-1 which should preserve all those äöüèíâ ...

Michael
