French term

panneaux (boite a image)

French to English Marketing Advertising / Public Relations public awareness
From a report on organic cotton growing in Mali and a section on child working practices: the section is discussion ways to heighten awareness of this problem such as:
"Une série de panneaux (boîte à image) a été produite et est prête pour l’impression et la diffusion"

I'm probably being very dim, but I don't understand how panneaux and boîte à image go together! If anyone can enlighten me, I'll be very grateful....
Proposed translations (English)

Non-ProZ.com Apr 5, 2005:
Sue - in the meantime I've checked with my client and been told that this boite a image is a syst�me de reproduction d'images. Having looked at your link, I just wonder whether it could just be something as simple as a photocopier? That would fit in with a village information campaign - but then so would display board.
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) Apr 5, 2005:
This is a print campaign right? No computers? Therefore, they mean a strip of images..a sequence of printed images..the original meaning of boite a image is Not Computers.it was old film strips. here they mean a sequence of printed poster images
Dr Sue Levy (X) Apr 5, 2005:
Yes, it can be a colloquial term for TV or a camera. I've thought of something else. See my note :-)
Non-ProZ.com Apr 5, 2005:
Thanks Sue, Jane - what worries me about this is the fact that w're talking about an awareness campaign in Mali, which is fairly primitive so I can't imagine anything high-tech being feasible. I'd thought of posters, but I don't understand the image box bit. This actually comes up again at the end of the section: "Compte tenu des bons r�sultats de la collaboration avec ENDA, ce travail a �t� reconduit en 2004 en mettant l�accent sur l�utilisation de la bo�te � image". Interestingly Collins Robert gives bo�te � images as a TV...

posters (image bank)

I presume that "panneaux" are posters. It sounds as though image files for the posters are available in electronic form. In programmes for desktop publishing you can stock your image files in the "boîte à image", image bank or similar term.

Or maybe they are referring to a website with an image bank from which the poster files can be selected and downloaded?

The \"boîte à image\" could be a type of display board.

Indeed, that seems to be what it is, have a look here:

PICTURE BOX

80 PICTURE cards illustrate the every day life of a single farmer and the problems he is confronted with: production, transportation, exports, the market, farmer organisations, devaluation and the influence of the global market. The cards are used for training illiterate African farmers.

Made by Optimum Rural (Cameroon), in cooperation with RONGAED and the financial support of the European Commission (DGVIII Training action and cultural cooperation), the picture box is designed as an educational tool. It is also a practical guide and connects pictured images with local African realities.

This box allows farmer organisations, rural companies and rural entrepreneurs and their promoters to gain a better understanding of the rules and interests that influence the trading of their products; it is also directed at African development agencies and officials.

panneaux=cards
boîte à image=picture box

panel of billboard images (image [tool] box)

The problem here for me is size?? Are they huge? or Are they on sheets of paper?

reference: pictorial communication, information communication, UNESCO, pictographs...

boite a image= image box, but that is a computer term...

posters (image toolkit/image toolbox/image bank)

One of the companies I work for uses something like "boite à images" to describe a "toolbox" of camera-ready electronic pictures to be used in their online or print communications. This is made available on an intranet page and their communications teams can easily access them.
I don't think there is a set term to describe this, which is why I've suggested several. However, I am very confident about the meaning, especially in your context.

I\'ve just seen that both people before me suggested image bank and image toolbox - I agree with them. Just consider my input as a comment, please.
