Block plane in different languages

[Caruso]

Reffering to thiss locked thread: so-why-is-it-called-a-block-plane-t99093.html
So what is a block plane called in different languages?

English, blockplane (obviously)
German, einhandhobel (one hand plane)
Italian, pialletti (small plane)
French, rabot compact (compact plane)
Swedish, stöthyvel (jab plane, knock plane or shock plane? The Swedish verb stöta will give you about 20 different suggestions on google translate. Actually a shooting board is called 'stötlåda' in Swedish, same verb ending with the Swedish word for 'box'.)

Any more languages out there?

Welsh: awyren bloc (possibly).

 

[dnneves]

(Portuguese) Plaina de topejar

In Dutch:

'Kleine Blokschaaf' (Small Blockplane)

Although confusingly, the word blokschaaf is also used to describe just about any block or smoothing plane, so a Stanley 4 or a Veritas Low Angle can both be called a blokschaaf.

It is not uncommon to see vintage coffin smoothers advertised for sale as a "block plane". I always assumed that the Sellers were uneducated about handplanes. Perhaps they were just using a generic term.

Block plane is a good term to use in the states (on ebay) for just about any wooden plane. The only drawback is that most wooden planes in the states are completely beat, or not really good quality to start.

Hi,

In french it is also often called "Rabot de paume". This can be translated in english as "palm handplane", which I think explains pretty well the way the tool is used.

Regards.
