In French, no generic term exist; when we translated the documentation
we had to create a rather ugly mathematical word:
since the terms we use are
triolet ==> meaning triplet
quartolet
quintolet
etc...
We created the
"n-olet"
which is a neologism I haven't seen anywhere in French.
But when I'll translate the comic into French, I think I'll just use
"triolet" since it's by far the most common word.

In order to also participate in this discussion, which also seems to confer to me ;-).
The German translator, being me, has decided to use as well the N-tole construct which I
remember having heard from my music theacher in high school. On other places in the
manual I used "rhythmische Konstruktionen", because the N-tole seemed to be so
mathematical to me. Actually it wasn't hard guessing the tuplet meaning, probably being
used to it from the Finale manual some years ago... but I hadn't heard of the word Tuplet
before.
