English translation:expose
Explanation:
The verb "expose" is used in this context in programming to mean "make visible", "make available to other callers". I have to admit I've not seen the French verb "exposer" used like this in programming literature I've read, but if the author did intend it as a literal translation of English "expose", it would fi tthe context.

disagree  Neil Coffey: Same problem as with Travelin Ann's answer: not all methods are necessarily "exposed", which I think is the sense here.

neutral  Kiwiland Bear: Same as Ann's - I wouldn't go as far as disagree - this is possible given interface (as opposed to class) specifics, but "expose" is better.

disagree  Neil Coffey: I don't think this works: a class/interface could contain private methods which are not "exposed" to outside callers.
3 hrs
neutral  Kiwiland Bear: For interface you could use that - unlike class, interface exists solely to expose methods (no private members) so the difference becomes moot. However, "expose" is definitely better as a standard, accepted term.
