English translation of "une ovation publique".
I wonder about the colloquial English translation of "une ovation publique". " A public ovation" is not a phrase which I have ever seen used, and for which I can't find an example on the internet. "Ovation" in English is almost universally used as a "standing ovation" for which the French appears to be "une ovation debout".
This question relates to:French lesson "Forming the feminine of adjectives ending in -c in French"

The term "standing ovation" is certainly more often heard but "public ovation" is not unheard of.
