French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Computers (general) / Computer programming | | French term or phrase: enregistrements liés rayés | I am sure that this refers to 'linked data entries' but am looking for the most suitable translation of 'rayer' within this context (computer programming).
I think the programming language used is W-Langage.
The following link (http://aaa.windev.free.fr/aide-trad.html) refers to the command 'Hraye' (HCross). However on the internet I can find very few references to the term 'cross' used in this way.
I am hesitating between cross / cross out / strike out, etc.
Any other suggestions welcomed!
Other instances of 'rayer' in document:
L'enregistrement <%1!d!> est supprimé. On ne peut pas rayer un enregistrement supprimé.
Problème rencontré pendant la suppression de l'enregistrement n°%1!d! du fichier <%2!s!>. Il reste rayé.
Problème rencontré lors du déblocage des enregistrements liés rayés. Certains enregistrements
liés rayés sont restés bloqués.
Problème rencontré pendant l'annulation du rayage de l'enregistrement n°%1!d! du fichier

| | delete/ mark for deletion | Explanation:
It's common that data which is logically "deleted" is not purged immediately, but only marked for deletion (which gives rise to the curious concept of undeletion). To me, it looks likely from your examples that "rayer" here is to mark as deleted, while suppression refers to permanent wiping/deletion of marked entries.
As previously, confirmation from client would be valuable as this is not quite mainstream usage of French software terminology, WLangage and WinDev being somewhat sui generis.

does the client not have any precedents or established glossary? (perhaps the publisher of WLangage/WinDev would, even if a developer using their system doesn't.)
à vrai dire, these terms all ought to have definitive equivalents. |

Asker: I will check with the client about a glossary, but the TM they have supplied me with is very small. As for the publisher, I think the online help files contain full details, but are only available to those using their system already(http://www.pcsoft.fr/us/ts/download/help/index.htm) - something I will point out to the client.
