French term or phrase: totalité des doigts, les enroulés, les paumes.....
Hi everyone,
I need your help with this, it's from a translation about appliances that create official documents (ID cards, passports etc...) with the use of biometric data (digital fingerprints, photographs, iris etc....) I can't figure out what they mean by "enroulés" here in this context and would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Many thanks,
Helen
