Twitter in French

Part of my job is to track media related to our Program. I am also responsible for having translations of documents done. So I get newsletters from Canada's Translation Bureau, today's had an interesting article, you see living in Ottawa, everything is bilingual, so I at 35 am back being a student for 2 hours a week taking french. I am also a gazouilleuse! Yes that's right, I am one as a) I'm female & B) I gazouiller

SAY WHAT?

The Translation Bureau recommends using the following terms:
