Source text - English If Your Phone Is Dead, TSA Won’t Let It—or You —on Certain Flights
By Lily Hay Newman
If your smartphone is dead, you won't be able to board your plane.
When you’re traveling, a dead cellphone or laptop battery can cause anything from minor annoyance to major missed connections. Now, running out of juice might also make TSA suspect you’re hiding a bomb. Great!

According to the Verge, in response to intel about a possible planned al-Qaeda terror attack, TSA announced on Sunday that passengers with uncharged devices may be blocked from flying until they can show that their electronics charge normally and turn on. The measure will take effect at “certain airports overseas,” so you may or may not encounter the screening on your next international jaunt.
It’s probably smart to top off all portable batteries just in case, though. NBC News reports that laptops, smartphones, tablets, and basically all electronics are now under close scrutiny. Additionally, TSA is intensifying shoe checks and general screening precautions. It may be an extra hassle, but at least it will facilitate a maximum number of plane selfies.
Translation - French Si Votre Téléphone Est Déchargé, La TSA Ne Le Laissera Pas—ni Vous —sur Certains Vols
Par Lily Hay Newman
Lorsque vous voyagez, une batterie de téléphone ou d’ordinateur vide peut avoir des conséquences allant du simple désagrément à des correspondances ratées. A présent, se retrouver à court de batterie peut également laisser la TSA penser que vous dissimulez une bombe. Génial !
Selon « the Verge », en réaction à des renseignements sur de possibles attaques planifiées par Al-Qaïda, la TSA a annoncé dimanche que les passagers ayant des appareils électroniques déchargés pourraient être empêchés de prendre leur vol jusqu’à ce qu’ils puissent prouver que leurs appareils se chargent et s’allument normalement. La mesure prendra effet dans « certains aéroports », par conséquent vous pourrez être contrôlés, ou pas, à l’occasion de votre prochaine virée internationale.
Cependant il est probablement préférable de charger toutes les batteries portables juste au cas où. NBC News rapporte que les ordinateurs portables, smartphones, tablettes, et en gros tous les équipements électroniques sont à présent sous étroite surveillance. De plus, la TSA intensifie le contrôle des chaussures et les contrôles de routine. C’est peut- être une gêne supplémentaire mais au moins ça permettra d’avoir un maximum de « selfies » dans les avions.
English to French: A Smartphone That's All About Privacy but Also Actually Works General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Telecom(munications)

The Internet feels like an insecure place these days, but the tools to keep your data safe are out there. The problem is that they're difficult and/or annoying to use.
Blackphone is trying to strike a balance between secure and usable in its new smartphone. For $630—about the cost of an unlocked iPhone 5s—Blackphone's Android handset provides easy access to encrypted versions of standard smartphone services like VoIP, texting, instant messaging, and contacts. Many of the services that come standard on a Blackphone, like Silent Phone, Silent Text, and secure cloud storage from SpiderOak, are available for other devices, but have a monthly fee attached. On Blackphone they're free for two years or more.
Advertisement round of orders will open on July 14. When information about Blackphone started coming out,
Preorders for Blackphone started in February and shipped today. The next a lot of details weren't clear, but now that handsets are shipping, the mystery is gone. The Blackphone handset has a 4.7-inch HD IPS screen, 16GB of onboard storage, an SD slot, 2GHz quad-core processor, LTE, and an 8-megapixel camera. They're middling specs, but you're not paying for glitzy tech here—you're paying for privacy.
Blackphone runs on a heavily customized version of Android 4.4 KitKat, called PrivatOS. It's Android, but without all the Google. There's no Chrome or Google Play, and that means that you can't download most normal apps. There are workarounds, though. For example, while testing Blackphone for Ars Technica, Sean Gallagher used the Amazon App Store to get some of the services he needed.
Gallagher writes:
So, to be fair, the question of how well the Blackphone does as a consumer device has multiple answers. If you’re someone who’s comfortable with a little bit of app sideloading and living off the Google reservation and have particular concerns about your privacy, then the Blackphone is a good fit for you ...
It's certainly not for everyone, but Blackphone's first attempt is a good incremental step toward a secure smartphone that is for everyone.

Internet semble un endroit peu sûr ces derniers temps, mais les outils pour protéger vos données existent. Le problème c’est qu’ils sont difficiles et/ou incommodes d’utilisation.
Blackphone essaye de trouver un juste équilibre entre sécurité et facilité d’utilisation avec son nouveau smartphone. Pour $630—environ le prix d’un iPhone 5s désimlocké — le téléphone Blackphone sous Android offre un accès simple aux versions chiffrées de services que l’on peut trouver en standard sur un smartphone, tels que la VoIP, les SMS, la messagerie instantanée, et le carnet d’adresses. La plupart des services qui sont fournis en standard sur un Blackphone, tels que Silent Phone, Silent Text, et la sauvegarde sécurisée de chez SpiderOak, sont disponibles sur d’autres appareils mais avec un abonnement mensuel. Sur le Blackphone ils sont gratuits pour une période de deux ans ou plus.
Les pré-commandes pour les Blackphone ont commencé en février et ont été expédiées aujourd’hui. La seconde phase de commandes sera ouverte le 14 juillet. Lorsque les premières informations sur le Blackphone ont commencé à arriver, un certain nombre de détails demeuraient flous, mais maintenant que les téléphones sont en cours de livraison, le mystère a disparu. Le Blackphone possède un écran HD IPS de 4,7 pouces, 16 Gb de mémoire, un emplacement SD, un processeur quad-core cadencé à 2 Ghz, fonctionne en LTE, et est équipé d’un capteur de 8 mégapixels. Il s’agit là de spécifications moyennes mais ici vous ne payez pas pour de la technologie tape-à-l'oeil, vous payez pour la protection de votre vie privée.
Le Blackphone tourne sur une version d’Android 4.4 KitKat taillée sur mesure, appelée PrivatOS. C’est de l'Android mais sans la partie Google. Il n’y a pas de Chrome ou de Google Play, ce qui signifie que vous ne pouvez pas télécharger d’applications ordinaires. Cette limitation est toutefois contournable. Par exemple, lorsqu’il testait le Blackphone pour « Ars Technica », Sean Gallagher a utilisé l’App store d’Amazon pour obtenir certains des services dont il avait besoin.
Gallagher écrit :
Pour être honnête, la question de savoir ce que vaut le Blackphone comme produit grand public possède plusieurs réponses. Si un peu de bidouille et le fait de vivre en dehors de la réserve Google ne vous gêne pas, et si vous êtes particulièrement inquiet pour votre vie privée, alors le Blackphone est un bon choix pour vous ...
Il n’est certainement pas pour tout le monde, mais le Blackphone est un bon premier pas vers un smartphone sécurisé qui est pour tout le monde.

When working with a translator to convert your English language documents into French you want to ensure that nothing gets lost in translation. This is a special skill that requires unique insight.
French is my native tongue and English to French translation is a field that I have worked in for the past ten years.
What sets me apart from many translators is that I will convert your document to French and it will flow naturally, reading as if a native French author wrote it.
I am able to customize the variations of different French speaking regions. For example, Canadian French has nuances that differ from other French speaking regions. My understanding and awareness of these differences makes for a better end product, therefore client experience.
An additional service I provide for clients is proofreading French translations previously done; finessing the words and making them flow as they should. This is a skill that many translators cannot offer.
For individuals and businesses that rely on a translated document to represent them professionally and accurately, they understand how important this skill is.
My philosophy on service is clear and precise. I will provide you with professional services in a timely manner. Everything I create, whether it is a document I’ve translated or something I’ve proofread or written, it is something that has passed my discriminating eye.
Three things that are important to me when I work with a client are:
- Keeping my time commitments
- Delivering a professional, polished product that fulfills our agreed upon job
- Punctual communication
Furthermore, your projects will always remain confidential. As a freelance professional, I have a great opportunity to help many interesting, motivated professionals shine with my skill set. That is why your ideas remain yours when our project is complete.
If you have further questions for me I encourage you to invite me to bid on your project. Questions are fantastic because they help lay out the parameters of the job and establish a great working relationship, which ultimately creates a better creative process for translation, proofreading, or writing—maybe a combination of all three.
