une machine à laver a washing machine
une machine à écrire a typewriter
une machine à coudre a sewing machine
une machine à sous a fruit machine

The French don't seem to be as woke as some countries:

English to French: transvestite:
travesti(e) m/f

English to French: travesty:
travesti; raillerie; moquerie; insulte; dérision; sarcasme; diffamation; risée
