Re-usable software


Explanation:
It may refer to software components that have been developed for generic use or software that have been developed initially for a specific purpose, but which can be re-used in another application. As in object-oriented programming.

removable components


Explanation:
For reference (even though the Microsoft translation is not an exact match):

Par exemple, un composant enfichable à chaud ou détachable peut être pris de son package le contenant (d'étendue) et être utilisé temporairement.
For example, a removable component that can be hot swapped, may be taken from its containing (scoping) package and be temporarily unused.

A little glitch with the Microsoft Language Portal... Set the "From" language to French and then click "Search" ;-)
