I'm working on a batch of documents related to telephony (I'm translating them from French to English) and I am stuck when it comes to finding a noun to describe a simple operation: A calls B, C calls B, => B puts A and C in contact to they can speak together. or "A user calls an IVR system (basically a voice service) and the system puts the user in contact with a human operator" Translated literally, the French expression is "putting in relation" or "putting in contact" but that seems unusable in English. "Connection" seems a bit too vague. I also thought of "forwarding" or "redirection" but I'm not sure about those. I hope this is clear, if it isn't, I can try to explain it better. Thanks for any help. Kangiten Joined on Tue, Oct 26 2004 Full Member 116 Nouns

	nona the brit  +  140277 Wed, 21 Sep 05 05:06 PM We normally say that A has 'put B through' to C. 'I'll just put you through to him' 'Putting you through now'. Also used in second context but can use connecting you to... nona the brit Joined on Wed, Sep 22 2004 England Veteran Member 11,713 The name says it all. Nouns

	Tallulah Tam  +  140288 Wed, 21 Sep 05 05:25 PM I think the word you are looking for is "liaison' which is the noun. "The negotiator acted as liaison between the two parties".  The verb is "liaise". Or you could simply use "communication"  To put them in communication with each other.       Tallulah Tam Joined on Sun, Jul 17 2005 Alabama, USA (British) Full Member 234 If at first you don't succeed sky-diving is not for you.
