English term

Connect

English to French Marketing Advertising / Public Relations
I'm translating the term "Connect" in a specific context between a hospital Foundation and patients, like for instance "Connect with patients and family"; "connect with our operator center"; "connect with donors"; "connect with new revenue". Anyother phrase is "When you communicate your mission and connect... good things happen."

I was thinking of "prendre contact" but this would not work with things, only people. And "connecter" in French is awkward for people ( I think). I though of "brancher", but I have doubts on that one also. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

En lien (avec) Je pense aller pour "Donor Connect" avec l'expression "Donateurs en lien" (mais pas à mon entière satisfaction) et "Quand vous communiquez votre mission et établissez (créez) un lien... de bonnes choses arrivent (en résultent)."
Peter LEGUIE Sep 26, 2013:
François Then you might use "La Relation Patient" in the trademark.
François Marcoux (asker) Sep 26, 2013:
Wonderful comments and suggestions! Another thing I omitted to mention which makes this one more difficult is that "Connect" is part of a trademark as in "Donor Connect" so I need to keep it as short as possible.
Daryo Sep 25, 2013:
"connect with new revenue" is definitely the odd one out, no ways it can be translated the same way as "connecting with people"

"tisser" des liens is simply perfect, could also be a nice translation for "networking" (the social variety of it, not LANs or WANs)
Verginia Ophof Sep 25, 2013:
Peter Brilliant !
Peter LEGUIE Sep 25, 2013:
Verginia Ou bien "tisser" des liens.
Peter LEGUIE Sep 25, 2013:
I do not feel that "communicate" in EN has exactly the same meaning as "communiquer" in FR (more like "diffuser") and "connect" might come out as "entrer en contact avec".
Daryo Sep 25, 2013:
"Connect with patients and family" and "connect with our operator center"// "connect with donors" // "connect with new revenue" // "When you communicate your mission and connect... good things happen."
are different questions with potentially different answers.

communiquer

Ce terme me paraît un peu plus adéquat dans ce contexte.

agree Daryo : "tisser des liens" is perfect for "connect with donors" // OTOH connect with things is s.t. totally else, should be a different question.

le contact

In puzzling over how to find something that fits all the different titles, I thought it might be good to avoid a verb and use a noun. I think "contact" would work for all but one of them, "le contact avec....", with the implicit sense that it's about "établir le contact". And for the tricky new income title, you could maybe say "Le contact avec de nouvelles sources de revenu", adding in the "sources" - but really not sure that this phrase works!
Alternatively, you could try "développer le contact" for all of them except the income title, and just use "développer de nouvelles sources de revenu".
