v zavislosti od kontextu a podla toho, aka sofistikovana je cielova skupina, by bolo mozne pouzit franc./tal. zensku formu "restauratrice"
Pavel Prudký Sep 15, 2008:
restorer You can find both restorers and conservators doing the same thing. E.g. restorer here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3733090.stm
Pavel Blann Sep 15, 2008:
workarounds: female restorer, she-restorer. new word: restoreress (c) 2008 by me ;)
Sarka Rubkova (asker) Sep 15, 2008:
She is probably gender aware
Pavel Blann Sep 15, 2008:
Then she would require something that doesn't exist in English.
Sarka Rubkova (asker) Sep 15, 2008:
Note, please, that I indicated in my explanation that she restored paintings not furniture.
Michaela Bordessoule Sep 15, 2008:
dodatek: The relationship between conservation and restoration is complex and depends on the purpose and utility of the piece. Specialists in antique furniture are limited by regulations set by sale rooms and show organisers as to how much a piece of furniture may be restored.
Sarka Rubkova (asker) Sep 15, 2008:
What if the lady requires female name?

yes, as one of the meanings, but here she restores painting - see above
agree Jennifer Taylor : Specifically, in this context, art restorer. No gender specification is necessary.

thanks
agree Elizabeth Spacilova : Agree with Jenny - "art restorer", no gender specification. If the context absolutely requires it then perhaps "female art restorer".
