Bonjour,
Je traduis des consignes de sécurité sur l'utilisation d'une tronçonneuse. Dans la description de la machine, on trouve la phrase suivante :
"The Tang is the part of the drive link at the bottom. It cleans and moves the lubricant along the bar groove during cutting operations.È
Dans la vidéo d'explication, la partie indiquée sous ce nom semble faire partie des maillons entraîneurs (ou maillons-guides).
Quelqu'un a-t-il suffisamment de connaissances dans de domaine pour éclairer ma lanterne? Merci beaucoup
Sophie

: Your own reference coment says that the 'tang' is a part of the 'drive link', and this 'drive link' is the complete maillon d’entraînement, not the 'tang' (the projection of that link which slides in the bar).

chain saw tang?
https://www.rcpw.com/blog/chainsaws-getting-to-know-your-cha...
Chain Links
Every chain is made of links; your saw’s chain has three types: cutting teeth, drive links, and tie straps. Your chain’s cutting teeth are the “business” end of the chain; these do the cutting or chipping when you cut with your saw. These cutting teeth come in different varieties which are referred to as different cutting tooth profiles. The next type of link found in your chain is the drive link. The drive links travel inside the*** groove on your chainsaw’s guide bar*** while the drive sprocket makes contact with the*** tang of the links.*** This is what propels your saws chain around your guide bar. It’s important to make sure your chain’s gauge is compatible with your guide bar’s groove width. The tie straps are the links that attach the cutting teeth and the drive links together. They don’t have cutting teeth or the*** tang of the drive links***, these links just hold the chain together. A tie strap with preset rivets is called a preset tie strap, the other half that just has rivet holes is referred to as a tie strap. Depending on your chain’s cutting tooth spacing there may be more or less of these in your chain

Gauge is the thickness of the drive tangs on the saw chain. Chain gauge must match the groove width on the bar."

I believe "soie" will be much more associated with "silk" to any French speaker who isn't familiar with blade terminology, hence why I think "curette" is a fitting term as it would make sense to a French speaker (by association). In any case, it seems the phrasing of the source allows for either.
"But the article for soie is for fencing?" - Then there is no choice but to go for "dent", "pointe", or maybe even "partie inférieure" du maillon entraîneur, as it looks like there is no equivalent term in French. Or more like the maillon entraîneur means (mainly) the tang as Tomasso pointed. But the wording here calls for a specific word for the pointy bit, and one would think there's already plenty of "dents" or "pointes" in a chainsaw safety manual. Then again, hearing "tang" in English would hardly make one think of a power tool, but a delicious dish. Language is context relevant.
Proz's choice to build their glossary off a reward-based community helpdesk for specific context might need discussion; in the meantime, one can only try and help others complete their work.

curette may be in a EN/FR termbase in relation to chainsaws because it is a hand tool used to clean the groove in the guide (compare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curette and https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curette with https://le-besson.com/Curette-de-guide-5400182018438--000426... ).
Asker's 'tangs' also run in the groove (hence the algorithm's confusion), but their purpose is to ensure the chain is properly aligned with the groove.
Conclusion: tangs are not curettes.
