Johannes Gleim Jan 14, 2014:
What is the context? Disarmament or arms trade?
Didier Fourcot Jan 13, 2014:
Same word in French Joust is joute in French, from the time when English did share many words with French, but this is non-pro if there is no technical meaning to the term?
patrickfor Jan 13, 2014:
more context ? Could be a request to control jousting, to avoid too many of them happening... in order to avoid people being killed stupidly? One King of France did that about duelling....

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: ""Joute" est bien la traduction lexicalisée, mais en l’occurrence il s'agit d'un élément de la manœuvre de visée d'un canon de marine. Il faut signaler que le texte à traduire en français depuis l'anglais a préalablement été traduit de l'italien en anglais par un Italien e qu'il y a sans doute une erreur de traduction."
