rivière/fleuve French to English translation

[halcyon viper]

we just call it a river, but if you want to be technical you can say tributary

For reference, the question arose while trying to translate the following from French to English, note "fleuve" and "rivière" showing up next to each other on the top right

[halcyon viper]

I would just replace "les fleuves et rivères" with "rivers"

[wheat bear]

Fair enough, thanks
