FABRIC!
I've been spending free time surfing on an e-commerce site which often falls victim to poor translation software. Here is a list of terms.
Terms used in what we'd call jacquard or brocade or similar:
3D
advanced (really, all by itself)
american style
anaglyph stereoscopic
bubble
bump
bumpmap
carving
coarse
convex
country style
cut (pile, I suppose)
damask -- sometimes really a damask!
dobby
double (other side sorta useful)
double layer
elastic (because it has some spring in it?)
embroidered (no embroidery present)
ethnic
flocking if they mean velvet or chenille (not glued on flocking)
hollow-out (this is another term for lacy/filigree effect)
impression
knitted (on a woven fabric)
light upholstery
light-sensitive (no)
mechanism
ombre (no actual color changes)
patchwork (no patches)
plump
puff
quilted (no actual quilting - we would say matellesse)
relief
rural style
satin (because some of the relief is satin?)
shadow
small fragrant (really)
small pieces
stereo
tapestry (even if one color)
textured
thickened
tibetan jacquard
tulle when they mean thin
tweed (not actual tweed)
wave
yarn-dyed (as opposed to piece dyed)
English Definitions:
BROCADE: is a class of richly decorative shuttle-woven fabrics, often made in colored silks and with or without gold and silver threads.
DAMASK: a figured woven fabric with a pattern visible on both sides, typically used for table linen and upholstery.
DOBBY: Fabric produced on the dobby loom, characterised by small geometric patterns and extra texture in the cloth. The warp and weft threads may be the same colour or different. Satin threads are particularly effective in this kind of weave as their texture will highlight the pattern. Polo shirts are usually made with dobby. piqué fabrics are a type of dobby construction.
JACQUARD: a fabric made on a loom fitted with a jacquard, with an intricate variegated pattern.
MATELASSE: Fabric having a raised design like quilting.
TAPESTRY: a piece of thick textile fabric with pictures or designs formed by weaving colored weft threads or by embroidering on canvas, used as a wall hanging or furniture covering.
TWEED: a rough, woolen fabric, of a soft, open, flexible texture, resembling cheviot or homespun, but more closely woven. It is usually woven with a plain weave, twill or herringbone structure. Colour effects in the yarn may be obtained by mixing dyed wool before it is spun
