English term or phrase: "breast ribbon" and "wings"
Bonjour,
Je suis en train de traduire le décret relatif aux distinctions honorifiques conférées par la Lituanie.
D'après la définition un "breast ribbon means a moiré ribbon in the colours of the sash to which the Cross of officer is attached". Quelqu'un connaîtrait-il le terme exact en français "de breast ribbon" ???
De même les "wings" mean a silver or golden barret used to indicate a class in the substitutes for badges of awards".
Merci
