Hi Tubelab,
In French the sweep tube is called"Amplificateur de balayage lignes"
or line-sweep (broom) amplifier.

Thanks.
In Spanish it´s "Válvula de barrido horizontal" , where barrido (as with a broom) means exactly same as sweep or balayage.
My point being that meaning/concept is preserved between Western European languages.
Would love to hear about Slavic languages, and of course in the Far East it´s a completely new game.

Why is there a broom in my TV set??
Makes as much sense as 火（fire）and 牛 work cow.
(Actually, I've had fire in a TV. I never had a cow.)
It amazes me how other cultures manage to communicate without misinterpreting and misunderstanding, especially Chinese as the symbols and words are so nuanced and in speech the same sounding word can have numerous different meanings depending on how each syllable is pronounced.
Still, written English can be easily misinterpreted as anyone who has searched Ebay for power transformer will know when they get lots of listings for plastic toys or searched for certain makes of test gear. Search for HP and you get lots of PC's and printers and search for Feedback ( a UK maker of nice vintage function generators etc) and you get offers of positive FB for your Ebay account.

Well, in Ukrainian and Russian those are officially called "tubes intended to be used in the output line scan stages of TV receiving devices" in the datasheets.
No one calls them that way in practice, of course. They're just "line scan tubes" or "line tubes".

In Czech, we often call tubes "lampy" or lamps in English. I guess it is because of the glow they produce🙂
And why not? The lamp is their origin...And I've never had a trouble with an international delivery marked "Lampie" but have had issues when they're marked Ham Radio parts!
Go figure.
Go figure.
Here, there's no meaning to use the expression "that's Greek to me"😀 Instead we say "it's Chinese"...
We say "μετασχηματιστής" (metashimatistis) = transformer literally.
We use the term "λάμπες" (lampes) for tubes but we we also have the formal term "λυχνίες" (lihnies). So we say "λυχνίες οριζόντιας σάρωσης". Sarosi is the formal word for sweep. We never use the casual "σκούπισμα" (skoupisma) with tubes.

First TV was mechanical i.e. rotating discs. Then they had to decide if it was to go on like that or make it electronic. Gears vs transformers...
O la vache! I am grateful to Hellbender for starting this thread. So many translations about tubes from Chinese to English end up with gall bladders and bile. :eye: I've asked around but never gotten an answer. Now we know.
C'est chouette! Vachement chouette. 😛

I guess Chinese have a right to be puzzled by our own mess when we say phrases such as:
"2N3055 was the workhorse of the Industry for decades"
"crispy sound"
"creamy smooth frequency response"
or even WORSE:
although some mention "the liquid creamy sustain of Eric Clapton´s guitar" 😱
"chest thumping bass"
and so on.
I´d LOVE to know how they translate to Chinese through, say, google translate.

Don't forget about the amp that also freshens the air....
