I'll try French, but it might be somewhat wrong

Not sure if I should be using chauffeurs or conducteurs there, chauffers sounds better tho

I'd rather say " se présenter" rather than "s'annoncer"

Damn, Max beat me to the German...

Here for French, might be 1-2 little error but that sounds rather right.

Fixed those errors for you :p

Just trying to find a synonym for protecteur which would sound better. Also, wouldnt safety equipment sound better?

I thought of that, but that just brings to mind a big security blanket, like lil kids have XD It does work though.

SplinterStrike has good almost everywhere but for 1 or 2 thingny.  Roger you were very close too!

Missing an accent on the "a" in the first sentence.

Tous les visiteurs et ..... à la réception.  Which mean "at" and not the verb To have.  ex. Il "a" eu cette chance.

Reporter = non.  You should read, Pour trouver le local reportez-vous à la liste jointe.  In the present case it does simply not work.  Do not use "rapporter" means bring back.  "se présenter" is the correct form.


For the clothing you need to clarify one thing from your customer '27.

At the place where those drivers go, will they have to be protected against chemicals, like they could be splashed or contaminated by vapors or else.  Then I would Use "vêtements protecteurs" but if it's like steels caps shoes or helmet, basic stuff of security then "vêtements de sécurité".

One other thing that will be your choice but one is from old school while the other is more recent.
Chauffeurs or Conducteurs. (Both forms are acceptable.)
"Un chauffeur" is the guy driving the limousine.  Or also was used because old steam engine needed to be heated.  Chauffeur is a derivative from there.  Conducteur, well to get your licences to drive you have to take a "cours de conduite".  It is self explanatory.

Recap;
Tous les visiteurs et conducteurs doivent se présenter à la réception.
Tous les visiteurs doivent porter leurs vêtements protecteurs (or "de sécurité") sur le site.
Tous les visiteurs et chauffeurs doivent se présenter au bureau du superviseur.

One last thing, if you take note of it the first sentence is made with conducteurs while the last is with chauffeurs.  Chose one and keep that one.

Done.

Oh right, a is the verb avoir.

For the Il/Elle/On form, silly Splinter...

Yeah and the verb to drive is conduire.

Seems to be quite right, but I think I've seen all of these signs and they were a little bit different, so here is how I would translate them:

1st: Alle Besucher und Fahrer müssen sich am Empfang melden.   
(Rezeption is what you have in hotels, this sounds more like it's for a factory or something)

2nd: Alle Besucher müssen auf dem Gelände Schutzkleidung tragen
(the 'personal' shouldn't have to be translated, the meaning is in the word 'Schutzkleidung')

3rd: Alle Besucher und Fahrer müssen sich im Büro der Aufsichtsperson melden
(Aufseher is pretty much only used for supervisors in jail)

Thank you its much appriciated I will check back on Monday when at my desk.  very grateful for all the help

Fair enough. I just went for the literal translation. idk what the deal is with the personal anyhow.

I'd like to point out that the German and French translations made, though they might be technically correct, are rather (c)rude. While it might be acceptable in English when you want people to obbey certain rules, it might be slightly offensive in German and especially in French.

Also I definitely wouldn't use reception in French, but rather accueil. Reception generally refers to a reception as an event (e.g. the part of a funeral when everyone is welcomed), the reception as an office is an accueil.

Actually, as a German I can say the translations arn´t rude. They are instructions/orders after all.


What might be added to the second sentence is "individuelle"

2nd: Alle Besucher müssen auf dem Gelände individuelle Schutzkleidung tragen
(the 'personal' shouldn't have to be translated, the meaning is in the word 'Schutzkleidung')

That is only to take the "personal" into account though, it works with out that too.
