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?
