responsabilité patrimoniale

English translation: duty to protect cultural heritage

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:responsabilité patrimoniale
English translation:duty to protect cultural heritage
Entered by: Philippa Smith

Social Sciences - Linguistics / langues régionales françaises
French term or phrase: responsabilité patrimoniale
Voici la phrase dans laquelle se trouve cette expression:
"Les langues non-territoriales illustrées, comme le (r)romani et la langue des signes française (LSF) sont celles envers lesquelles l'État reconnaît avoir une responsabilité patrimoniale."
Le lien est le suivant: https://atlas.limsi.fr/?tab=Hexagone

JE comprends que l'Etat reconnait avoir une responsabilité culturelle (héritage culturel) vis-à-vis de ces langues.
Peut-on par conséquent traduire par "languages for which France acknowledges some cultural heritage responsibility"?
Merci à tous

cultural heritage
Explanation:
Donc d'accord avec ta proposition, mais dans cette formule :
"... represent a cultural heritage France acknowledges it has a duty to protect."
Car il me semble que la notion de "responsabilité" ici implique bien la protection de ce patrimoine.

La phrase exemple (qui a disparu la 1e fois !) :
"When a language dies out, future generations lose a vital part of the culture that is necessary to completely understand it. This makes language a vulnerable aspect of cultural heritage, and it becomes especially important to preserve it."

cultural heritage custodian


Explanation:
The French State/Government acknowledges that it is the cultural heritage custodian of these languages.

"... acting as a cultural heritage custodian, the state acts in fact as the great equalizer (...) it decreed what is the literary language to be used..."
https://books.google.fr/books?id=Mb5mDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA222&lpg=P...

These languages are valuable and the State admits to being the entity which has to protect/safeguard/take care of them.

a duty of linguistic heritage promotion


Explanation:
I say 'linguistic' because the TXT is about linguistic promotion.

I say 'promotion' because linguistic protection is mainly about promoting marginalized languages.
