We Flemish people, speak Dutch, but when it gets technical we use French vocabulary. So a 'locary' and a 'calender', or a 'joint de culasse' and 'ammortisseurs' are common words when we speak the car-tale. In Holland, they speak also Dutch, they can't understand things we say (if they don't speak French). They tend to use more English words.
Strange world.
locary = inner wing calender = radiator grill joint de culasse = head gasket ammortisseurs = shock absorbers
