filtrage
The English phrase gatekeeping is translated into French as filtrage.
Did you know?
- While filtrage translates as 'gatekeeping' in a digital or security context, French speakers use the term gatekeeping directly in English when talking about social exclusivity or 'elitism' in fandoms.
- A French speaker might use the verb filtrer to mean 'to screen' people, but this can sound as if they are physically straining them through a sieve.
- In official government contexts, filtrage takes on a much more serious, literal meaning, often referring to the rigorous security screening of individuals at national borders.
Examples in context
- Certaines personnes sont mises à l'écart simplement parce qu'elles ne connaissent pas suffisamment le sujet.Certain individuals are left out simply because they don't know enough about the subject.
- Elle déteste ce genre de filtrage culturel.She hates this kind of cultural gatekeeping.
