Le terme français "îlotage" nous a été confirmé par un ingénieur qui travaille au ministère de l'Environnement du Canada. À sa connaissance, il n'existe pas d'équivalent anglais consacré pour ce terme, et il propose d'utiliser une expression explicative, du type "separation into small isolated piles". Cependant, le terme anglais "islanding" a été proposé par les services linguistiques de la Société Radio Canada. D'ici à ce que ce dernier terme soit confirmé, la prudence impose toutefois de l'entourer de guillemets. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%AElotage
