Also means
diplomatic (adjective)
Usage Note
Diplomate functions as both noun and adjective: un diplomate expérimenté (an experienced diplomat) or une réponse diplomate (a diplomatic reply). As a noun it is common gender — le/la diplomate — so context or an article clarifies sex. There is also a classic French dessert called diplomate, a moulded cream-and-brioche pudding, unrelated to the political meaning.
Examples
"La diplomate a signé l'accord."
Natural Translation
The diplomat signed the agreement.
