French term

sauteraux

Non-PRO French to English Science Zoology
This is a report made out by a NGO on an area in Africa for which it is proposing a humanitarian project. At this point, it's giving the reasons for the shortage of fodder in the region. I'm finding many mistakes in the original, so I'm wondering if this shouldn't be "sauterelles" (locusts):

Le ministère de l’élevage et industries animales vient de publier son analyse du déficit fourrager qui est de 16.137.329 tonnes de matière sèche globalement, soit 67 % des besoins du cheptel national en Unité de Bétail Tropical (UBT).

Ce déficit est très marqué dans les zones de XXX, YYY, ZZZ et NNN malgré un apport des projets et ONG.

A cette situation, s’est rajoutée une mauvaise situation phytosanitaire (attaque d’insectes, oiseaux granivores, pucerons, sautereaux) sur les cultures et les pâturages, des inondations dans certaines localités et des foyers de maladies animales.

Thanks in advance!
Proposed translations (English)

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): SJLD, Cetacea, Julie Barber

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

considering the context you may well be right on sauterelles

sauterelles

I'm pretty sure it's a typo for sauterelles, grasshoppers.

Thanks John.
neutral polyglot45 : well they probably mean locusts here and it is not strictly a typo // see reference below = alternative spelling

You're quite right - swarming grasshoppers are called locusts, but I think sautereaux is a typo.

French term (edited): sauteriaux

pest grasshoppers

Typo/mistake not for 'sauterelles' but 'sauteriaux' [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauteriau]
It is more than your regular green grasshopper. These can be as scary as locusts!!
