Or play safe - deviator??? With [sic].

I'm sure it's not particularly relevant to the usage that's going to be made of your translation.

There's no way you can do this without further context.

I had a similar one recently on a CV: "animatrice". I just had to best-guess it.

Selon mes recherches sur le Web il pourrait s'agir de quelqu'un qui travaille aux aiguillages des trains ou à diriger les avions à se garer sur l'aéroport mais non aux aiguillages des avions car on les appelle des aiguilleurs du ciel

moi aussi j'ai pensé à aviateur mais cela semble beaucoup pour un typo
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : can you give a ref to show that deviateur is actually a job and not a device? (I'll change to agree the moment you do ;-) )

comme je l'ai indiqué j'ai deviné cette réponse et ne peux donc pas fournir de référence
