see below Explanation: This is a very common term. The most common English translation is probably check sum or hash total [from "hash" = chopped food, summation of incoherent numbers, just for control purposes], or gibberish total, control total, batch total (It's also called Kontrollsumme or Checksumme in German) That should give you plenty of choices...
