GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:
niveaux de signification bilatéraux
English translation:
two-sided significance levels / significance levels for a 2-sided test (of significance)
Explanation: "The significance level of a test is the probability of a Type I error, i.e. the probability of wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis.
(Statistics & Data Analysis - An Introduction", ed 2, AF. Siegel et al.)
In hypothesis testing, 'bilateral' refers to whether or not the analysis considers conditions on one side, or both sides, of the null.
Although the following refs refer to confidence, not significance, the 'bilateraux' concept is the same in both:

SJLD is correct in saying that it is the test which is 2-sided, not the significance level. If one were to be fully precise, it should read "significance levels for a 2-sided test (of significance)"; however, abuse of language allows statisticians to abbreviate this to "2-side significance levels".
