Bonjour à tous. Je suis traducteur au Québec et je postule
présentement pour un poste dans une grande boîte qui s'occupe de la
traduction de jeux vidéos. Ma candidature sera évaluée en partie grâce
aux résultats d'une épreuve -- c'est à dire ma traduction d'un texte
représentatif. Dans ce cas-ci, j'ai reconnu assez vite qu'il
s'agissait d'un extrait de l'univers BattleTech. Mon problème c'est
que je n'ai pas accès à une version française de textes qui traitent
de cet univers (manuels, jeux d'ordi, romans, etc.). Je cherche donc
la traduction francaise officielle ou semi-officielle des termes
suivants. J'ai mis le texte à traduire au complet par la suite pour
que vous ayez le contexte.
Inner Sphere
Inner Sphere Large Laser
Clan ER Small/Medium/Large Laser
RoboGladiator/RoboGlads
Lance (unité de Mechs)
Lyran Alliance
Merci d'avance !

-----------------------
With longer range and greater damage capability than the Inner Sphere
Large Laser, the Clan ER Large Laser is considered a major
improvement. Its only drawback is the increased heat output.
The Flamer is a very effective short-range weapon in that it not only
damages enemy RoboGlads, it also increases enemy heat, making it
difficult for the targeted unit to return fire.
Much like the Clan ER Large Laser, the Clan ER Medium Laser shows
improvement over the Inner Sphere version in damage and range, but
generates greater heat.
Hard to learn, but has high damage-to-tonnage ratio. Damage is based
on charge time. Pulling the trigger starts the charge. It will fire
upon reaching full charge or when the trigger is pulled again. Even
improvements in range and damage can't keep the Clan Small Laser from
being a support weapon used only when most other options have failed,
or when the extra heat capacity is available.
One of the best overall weapons available to a RoboGladiator, the
Large Laser is a good mix of range, power, and recycle time, making it
useful in most situations. Its one drawback is heat build-up.
Long considered an Inner Sphere workhorse, the Medium Laser is an
excellent support weapon for close-range combat. However, its short
range and low damage keep it from being a primary weapon.
The Small Laser is considered more of a utility weapon. Alone it is
almost useless, but in banks or combined with other weapons, it can
add that last bit of damage in a short-range barrage.

NOTE TO THE TRANSLATOR:
Translations should be of similar length to the original. This type of
text would typically be recorded by actors in a studio.
Lawhorn: Striker One, this is Black Six. Alpha Lance is two clicks
out from Nav Alpha. Fall back by best available route and rendezvous
at Alpha. Sir, the Hrothgar is lifting off!
Major Dupree: Attention Black Knight Legion mercenaries. Not like you
to let the big one get away.
Lawhorn: This is Black Knight Legion command. Identify yourself.
Major Dupree: This is Major Carrissa Dupree of the Lyran Alliance. We
are here to brief the Legion on its next assignment.
Lawhorn: I don't recall signing any contract to support such a claim.
Major Dupree: We'll settle terms en route. We're advancing you this
pair of RoboGlads as a gesture of goodwill.
Eric: (appreciative whistle) Looks like a Clan Ryoken.
Isabel: (somewhat astonished) Is that a Sunder? Never seen one before.
Sure is big.
