Translating product details
I’m translating the details for the RICOH GR IV 30th Anniversary Edition. The product name and the release schedule state it’s set for Fall 2026, with 6,000 units available worldwide, but the price is still to be determined.
The bullet points translate to:
- The shutter release button and rear buttons feature a paint color inspired by the original GR1.
- There’s a special ring cap ‘GN-3 (30th)’ with a diamond-cut finish included.
- Lastly, it has a dedicated power-off screen with a 30th anniversary design displayed when turned off.Translating special items
Next up is the "Special included items" bullet list. It mentions a metallic hot shoe cover ‘GK-2 (30th)’ with a GR 30th anniversary design. In French terminology, this should be "Coque métallique du sabot porte-accessoires ‘GK-2 (30e)’ arborant le design du 30e anniversaire GR."
Then, we have a finger strap ‘GS-4 (30th)’ also featuring the same anniversary design. In camera terms, I’ll translate this to "Dragonne ‘GS-4 (30e)’ arborant le design du 30e anniversaire GR."Continuing the translation
For the finger strap, I’ll stick with "dragonne."
Next, the "Special pin badge set" inspired by different GR series models translates to "ensemble d’épingles commémoratives ‘Special pin badge set’ inspiré des modèles GR successifs." So we can simply say "ensemble de pins spéciaux" inspired by the successive GR models.
Finally, for the additional note, I’ll translate this as: "Parmi les éléments inclus listés ci-dessus, le capot métallique du sabot ‘GK-2 (30e)’ et la dragonne ‘GS-4 (30e)’ seront également proposés à l’achat séparément."Translating additional details
Next, I need to translate the information about the metal hot shoe cover ‘GK-1 (30th)’ planned for the ‘RICOH GR III/IIIx’ series. That would be: "En plus de ce qui précède, la sortie du capot métallique du sabot ‘GK-1 (30e)’ pour la série ‘RICOH GR III/IIIx’ est également envisagée."
Then, I’ll translate the note about waiting for further details: "* Veuillez patienter pour plus de détails jusqu’à l’annonce officielle, prévue vers l’automne prochain."
Lastly, I should translate the "About the Author" paragraph, since it’s part of the article too. Even though it seems lengthy, I’ll tackle it in French as well.Translating detailed information
I’m translating some additional details. The camera will feature a diamond-cut lens ring, a 30th-anniversary design displayed when turned off, and a metallic hot shoe cover. I think the right term for that would be "Capuchon métallique du sabot."
It will also include a finger strap and a commemorative pin badge set. I’ll use "un ensemble de pins commémoratifs" for the badges.
Moreover, accessory availability for the GR III/IIIx will be noted, and price details will be shared in the autumn.
In the press release, I’ll say: "Annonce concernant la mise sur le marché prévue d’un modèle en édition spéciale commémorant le 30e anniversaire de la série RICOH GR." Then, I’ll continue translating the paragraphs about the actual product announcement and its history in the GR series. The term
