Joffre set 14 August as the date when the First and Second armies were to invade Lorraine between Toul and Épinal, south of the German fortified area of Metz-Thionville. The First Army was to attack in the south with four corps, towards Sarrebourg 60 kilometres (37 mi) east of Nancy and Donon 25 kilometres (16 mi) south of Sarrebourg. Passes in the Vosges to the south of Donon were to be captured before the main advance began. The Second Army was to attack towards Morhange 45 kilometres (28 mi) north-east of Nancy, with two corps north of the First Army and three advancing successively behind the left flank of the corps to the south, to counter a German attack from Metz. The French offensive was complicated by the two armies diverging as they advanced, on difficult terrain particularly in the south, the combined fronts eventually being 150 kilometres (93 mi) wide. The advances of the First and Second armies were to attract German forces towards the south, while a French manoeuvre took place in Belgium and Luxembourg, to pierce a weak point in the German deployment and then destroy the main German armies.

⇒ジョフルは、第1・第2方面軍がメッツ‐ティヨンビルのドイツ軍強化地域の南、ツールとエピナルの間のロレーヌを侵略する日付を8月14日に設定した。第1方面軍は、4個軍団の編成で南方へ向かい、ナンシーの東60キロ（37マイル）のサレブルグ方面と、サレブルグの南25キロ（16マイル）のドノンを攻撃することとした。

＞Passes in the Vosges to the south of Donon were to be captured before the main advance began.

⇒主要な進軍が始まる前に、ボージュ山中にドノンの南へ通じる通路の確保が必要であった。第2方面軍は、ナンシーの北東45キロ（28マイル）のモランジュ方面を攻撃することになっていたが、その際第1方面軍の北に2個軍団が布陣し、3個軍団が南へ向かう軍団の左側面の後をうまく進軍し、メッツから攻撃に出てくるドイツ軍と対抗することとした。

＞The French offensive was complicated by the two armies diverging as they advanced, on difficult terrain particularly in the south, the combined fronts eventually being 150 kilometres (93 mi) wide.

⇒フランス軍の攻撃は、特別に険しい南の地形上で、幅150キロ（93マイル）の繋がった前線を進軍するに従って2個の方面軍に分岐していったことにより複雑化した。第1・第2方面軍の進軍はドイツ軍を南に引きつけるためで、その間にベルギーやルクセンブルクでフランスの作戦行動を起こし、ドイツ軍の布陣の弱点部を突破し、それから、ドイツ軍の主軸を破壊することとした。
