How to translate some technical words from English that do not have a good translation?

Question

I am writing my thesis in French but I am not allowed to write any word in English. The problem is that some technical words are not usually into French, how can I translate them?

For example, these words are very hard for me to translate:

• backhaul
• plug-and-play
• ...

Also words that belong to someone cannot be translated like the name of an algorithm "quicksort" or the name of a model, ...

I would like to hear your suggestions.

Answer 1

The translation of many technical words can be found on Wikipedia that going to the English articles then switching to French, e.g.:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksort -> http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri_rapide
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backhaul_(telecommunications) -> http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9seau_d%27acc%C3%A8s

Then http://www.linguee.fr/ if another great resource, e.g.:

• http://www.linguee.fr/francais-anglais/search?source=auto&query=plug-and-play -> prêt-à-l'emploi (this translation depends on the context).
