I have tried a translator and all its seems to come up with is small child . I also need the word for great grandchild. I thought it would be nice to break the news in french, for my father and grandparents who are of course french.
thanks

I am French and I live in England,
here are some translation that could help you:
grandson: petit-fils
granddaughter : petite-fille
grandchildren : petits-enfants
great-grandson : arriere-petit-fils
great-granddaughter : arriere-petite-fille
great-grandchildren : arriere-petits-enfants
but there is no translation for the word "grandchild", you have to specify if you are talking about a boy or about a girl.
Nice to have people interested in the French language!

The translator was correct, the word for grandchild in French is petit-enfant and the word for great-grandchild is arrière-petits-enfants. As far as I know there is no direct translation.
Hope this helps.

le petit-fils - grandson
translate grand-child in some other language .. what does "grand" mean? ... but those 2 words (gran+child) together mean (my) child's child
