Help
Where can I find a list of bridge terms in English with their equivalents in Spanish and/or French? When I play on line it would be helpful to be able to use them when chatting. I know Spanish pretty well, and some French, so the languages are not entirely "foreign" to me. I have a glossary of Spanish words, but not connected with their English meanings.
Please reply to the grmapege BBO mailbox if you can help.

For French terms you could also download and play against Yves Costel's Wbridge5 (The 2005, 2007 and 2008 World Computer Bridge Champion). It's French and it's free!

I believe BIL (Beginner/Intermediate Lounge) has had people busilly translating bridge terms, bidding and so forth, for a number of different languages. If you are not a member you might see if you could make some arrangements with Maureen to access these.
