日本語 term

二丁掛タイル

日本語 から 英語 技術/工学 建設/土木工学
From a report on a building:

仕上仕様(主要部分):
外 壁: 45 二丁掛タイル貼,吹付けタイル
屋根・防水: ウレタン塗膜防水
床 事務室:タイルカーペット
内 壁 事務室:ビニールクロス
天 井 事務室:岩綿吸音板

I found a site in Japanese that refers to 45 二丁タイル(URL below), and it seems that the 45 refers to "45 mm". However, I am unsure what 二丁掛 is.

"2-layer tile" has been suggested as a translation.

Thank you.

Thanks, Kathy Thanks! (It makes me feel like I'm not crazy, lol) I have submitted a support request for this problem, and also posted the details on the Japanese forum to make other members aware of the problem, and maybe raise visibility.

You're so right! There's definitely something very wrong with that search function. (I was only able to find those 2 links to past answers by searching through my own Kudoz page of past questions answered...) I wonder if this is an E->J->E problem only???
conejo (asker) Feb 10, 2006:
Search problems Just to make sure, I searched again in Japanese>English (and reversed pairs) for 二丁掛, the title of the other KudoZ question. I left no boxes checked, only "whole words" checked, then "exact phrase" checked, then both checked, and I got zero results, although there does exist a question.

Rectangular Tile (Insert Dimensions here)

Hi Conejo-san,

These was asked some time ago. Please see:
http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1126857

As mentioned in the description, this tile refers to 2 x 小口 tiles, (which are generally 60x108mm) -hence the 2丁- plus the joint width (hence the 掛け), and the standard dimension for these seems to be 60x227mm.

In the case of 45二丁タイル, note that this is generally 45 x 95mm but can also refer to 50x95mm.

There was a similar question asked also:
see http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1160801

Good luck!

Excuse the typo: 'these was' -> 'this was'

P.S. I don't know that "2-layer tiles" is appropriate - the only remotely relevant hits I could see for this on Google related to Mahjongg tiles :-)

My guess:
45二丁タイル dimensions = 45 x 95mm
45二丁掛けタイル dimensions = 50x95mm (extra 5mm accounting for the joint width between the equivalent of the 2 小口's.) See the refs given at the latter KudoZ question.

If it were me, I would probably (try to confirm exact dimensions with the client but otherwise) translate this as:
Rectangular Tiles (50x95mm) - and flag it for the client with a note.

Something went wrong...
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you. I did search through the past Kudoz and members' glossaries, but for some reason, ever since they changed the ProZ system, my searches always come up with "O" results... If I search without checking any boxes (whole words only/exact phrase), I get so many results that are unrelated, because they only contain one of the kanji. If I search with either one of the boxes checked, or both, I get "0" results... I can't think of the last time there was actually a result from that search. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the best way to search for Japanese? Thanks."
